New issue 192: Report subprocess exit code when invocation fails

Marius Gedminas:

Story: A Jenkins job running tox [failed](https://jenkins.gedmin.as/job/zodbbrowser/62/console) in the 'pip install' step, without a clear error message.  After some headscratching I decided to look at dmesg and saw that the server ran out of memory and the OOM killer decided to kill some processes.

Now if tox reported actual exit statuses instead of just saying "invocation failed", I might've seen that pip did not exit with an error code but rather was killed by a signal. That would've been a useful Clue to have.
