Edwin Gao 4c107f8236 Bug 1291335 - Check mozconfig for --disable-tests when running mach test commands r=gbrown
Behavior changes:

- instead of reading the mozconfig file, it now instantiates an instance of the build object.
- safe checking methods are used to access attributes to prevent errors on automation environment.
- better mach command parsing is performed with handler category instead of error-prone argv parsing.


Other changes:

- docstring for testing/xpcshell/runxpcshelltests.py::buildTestList() added and modernized.
- added clause that if length of tests gathered is 0, mach exits with an error code of 1.

Mach (German for *do*) is a generic command dispatcher for the command
line.

To use mach, you install the mach core (a Python package), create an
executable *driver* script (named whatever you want), and write mach
commands. When the *driver* is executed, mach dispatches to the
requested command handler automatically.
