    regtest: read stderr output before calling wait to fix a possible deadlock
    
    In the way the scripts starts it subprocesses, stderr becomes buffered
    for the subprocesses. And unforunately, when the buffer limit is
    reached, the subprocess suspends it work until it can print again on
    stderr. That's why the python script runs into a deadlock when the
    subprocess produces a lot of error messages. A small rearrange of the
    commands, first read the stderr output and then wait that the subprocess
    ends, will remove this deadlock.
