[issue5531] unittest: allow failures in tearDown method

[Tim Cuthbertson]

Tim Cuthbertson <tim3d.junk at gmail.com> added the comment:

I agree that this is not normally the point of tearDown methods.
However, allowing it reduces repetition when you want to verify that
some invariant is not violated by any test.

I also think that as far as the test writer is concerned, an assertion
error is a failed test - regardless of where in the code it came from.
