Description

Describe the bug

The TAP protocol states: Any output line that is not a version, a plan, a test line, a diagnostic or a bail out is considered an “unknown” line. A TAP parser is required to not consider an unknown line as an error

Yet, the meson TAP parser does: yield self.Error('unexpected input at line %d' % (lineno,))

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the TAP parser implementation in meson, locate the line that yields Error for unexpected input, and modify it to follow the TAP protocol specification.
