Useful when a quick check is wanted, especially when the test suite is quite large, e.g., in LaTeX2e base and l3kernel.

Since the stdengine may differ across config files, any l3build check -e <specific-engine> may fail for some of the configs, as shown in linked issues.

Perhaps rather than -e<engine> we could do with a switch to use only the standard/default check engine (so --default/-d, or --standard-engine or ...)?

Yeah, I was thinking along these lines for #341 in particular - either the test should be skipped entirely or (more useful) we should just use the default engine

I will put in a PR shortly. I was thinking again about the naming: as we always use stdengine, how about -s|--stdengine? (-s is currently unused).
