tests: output_spec: use shell-test REP_NODELAY (#10726)

Fix flaky "shell command :! throttles shell-command output greater than ~10KB:":

    [ RUN      ] shell command :! throttles shell-command output greater than ~10KB:
    warning: Screen changes were received after the expected state. This indicates
    indeterminism in the test. Try adding screen:expect(...) (or wait()) between
    asynchronous (feed(), nvim_input()) and synchronous API calls.
      - Use screen:redraw_debug() to investigate; it may find relevant intermediate
        states that should be added to the test to make it more robust.
      - If the purpose of the test is to assert state after some user input sent
        with feed(), adding screen:expect() before the feed() will help to ensure
        the input is sent when Nvim is in a predictable state. This is preferable
        to wait(), for being closer to real user interaction.
      - wait() can trigger redraws and consequently generate more indeterminism.
        Try removing wait().
