When a VM test suite runs in an isolate, nothing noticed if the isolate
exited. The isolate channel does not close when the isolate exits, so:

  • If the isolate exited while the suite was loading, loading waited
    forever for the serialized suite. For example, a test file whose
    main calls Isolate.exit() hung the run.
  • If the isolate exited while a test was running, that test never
    completed. The run hung, and interrupting it hung again while it
    waited for the test to finish.

Spawn test isolates with an onExit port. When the isolate exits,
close the port the isolate channel receives from. The channel then ends
once it has delivered any messages the isolate sent before exiting:

  • An error the isolate reported while loading is still what fails the
    load.
  • Otherwise loading fails with "Connection closed before test suite
    loaded.", as it already does for exe and cli suites when the
    socket closes.
  • Tests that haven't finished are reported as not completed.

Closing the port doesn't end the channel if the isolate hasn't
connected yet, so waiting for the channel ID also races the exit
message.

Only listen for data on the exit port, since it is also closed as part
of the suite's normal cleanup.

Spawn test isolates with an `onExit` port. When the isolate exits,
close the port the isolate channel receives from. The channel then ends
once it has delivered any messages the isolate sent before exiting:
- An error the isolate reported while loading is still what fails the
  load.
- Otherwise loading fails with "Connection closed before test suite
