Organize automated test suite artifacts in per-run directories
A single test suite generally results in multiple files being created in the TMP dir, e.g.:
- snapshots and disks
- failure screenshots
- network captures
- videos (with #10148 (closed))
Some of these try to encode which test run it belonged to by including a timestamp. This is awkward, especially when developing new tests.
I propose that for the artifacts that reflect some sort of final
result/log that will not be potentially reused in subsequent runs (e.g.
everything above except “snapshots and disks”) we place them in
$TMP/run-$TIMESTAMP-$XXXXXX, where $TIMESTAMP is when the test suite
run was started and $XXXXXX is some random chars decided
mktemp-style.
