[issue5531] unittest: allow failures in tearDown method

[Brett Cannon]

Brett Cannon <brett at python.org> added the comment:

So I disagree with this idea. The point of a tearDown method is simply
to clean up, not to test for a failure. If the test failed because it
didn't complete a test and clean up after itself then the test should
fail explicitly, not have the tearDown do it for the test.
