test_runner: always make spec the default reporter

This is a breaking change. Prior to this commit, the test_runner
defaulted to the spec reporter if using a TTY, and the TAP
reporter otherwise. This commit makes spec the default reporter
unconditionally. TAP output is still available via the
--test-reporter=tap CLI flag.

Fixes: nodejs#54540
