Merge #685: Fix issue where travis does not show the ./tests seed…

a0771d1 Explicitly disable buffering for stderr in tests (Jonas Nick)
fb424fb Make travis show the ./tests seed by removing stdout buffering and always cat tests.log after a travis run. (Jonas Nick)

Pull request description:

  …by removing stdout buffering and always cat tests.log after a travis run. Fixes #645.

  I noticed that according to the [doc](https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Parallel-Test-Harness.html) tests.log should contain stdout as well as stderr. But it doesn't because stdout isn't flushed. I removed buffering completely to avoid having to call `fflush` twice.

  Travis is instructed to always show the seed which seems helpful with `after_script` by `cat`ing `./tests.log`. In case the tests fail it looks like https://travis-ci.org/jonasnick/secp256k1/jobs/606446234.
