Summary:
print build errors nicely in test output
This test infrastructure change adds a new Python exception
for test subject builds that fail. The output of the build
command is captured and propagated to both the textual test
output display code and to the test event system.
The ResultsFormatter objects have been modified to do something
more useful with this information. The xUnit formatter
now replaces the non-informative Python build error stacktrace
with the build error content. The curses ResultsFormatter
prints a 'B' for build errors rather than 'E'.
The xUnit output, in particular, makes it much easier for
developers to track down test subject build errors that cause
test failures when reports come in from CI.

For convenience, we had added the folder that dotest.py was in
to sys.path, so that we could easily write things like
`import lldbutil` from anywhere and any test. This introduces
a subtle problem when using Python's package system, because when
unittest2 imports a particular test suite, the test suite is detached
from the package. Thus, writing "import lldbutil" from dotest imports
it as part of the package, and writing the same line from a test
does a fresh import since the importing module was not part of
the same package.
The real way to fix this is to use absolute imports everywhere. Instead
of writing "import lldbutil", we need to write "import
lldbsuite.test.util". This patch fixes up that and all other similar
cases, and additionally removes the script directory from sys.path
to ensure that this can't happen again.

This is the conclusion of an effort to get LLDB's Python code
structured into a bona-fide Python package. This has a number
of benefits, but most notably the ability to more easily share
Python code between different but related pieces of LLDB's Python
infrastructure (for example, `scripts` can now share code with
`test`).
