src: disable stdio buffering

Disable stdio buffering, it interacts poorly with printf() calls from
elsewhere in the program (e.g., any logging from V8.)  Unbreaks among
other things the `--trace_debug_json` switch.

Undoes commit 0966ab99 ("src: force line buffering for stderr"), which
in retrospect is not a proper fix.  Turning on line buffering fixed a
flaky test on SmartOS but the test wasn't failing on other platforms,
where stderr wasn't line-buffered either.  Mark the test flaky again,
it failed once in a run of 333 tries on the smartos-64 buildbot.

Disabling buffering should be safe even when mixed with non-blocking
stdio I/O because libuv goes to great lengths to reopen the tty file
descriptors and falls back to blocking I/O when that fails.
