Rebecca Turner dc4cf16993 lib.debug.throwTestFailures: init
`lib.debug.runTests` provides a unit test evaluator for Nix, but its
results are returned in a raw and difficult-to-read form.

Currently, different callers output the results in various ways:
`builtins.throw (builtins.toJSON failures)` and `builtins.throw ("Tests
failed: " + lib.generators.toPretty { } failures)` are both used.

This change adds a new `lib.debug.throwTestFailures` function which
displays the results nicely before throwing an exception (or returns
`null` if no failures are given), unifying these disparate call-sites.

First, each failing test is pretty-printed in a `trace` message:

```
trace: FAIL testDerivation:
  Expected: <derivation a>
    Result: <derivation b>
```

Then, an exception is thrown containing the number of tests that failed
(and their names), followed by the raw JSON of the results (for parity
with previous usage, and because `lib.generators.toPretty` sometimes
omits information that `builins.toJSON` includes):

```
