QTestEventLoop: stop when the test fails

It makes no sense for the event loop of a test to keep running after a
test has failed. This lets test code simply use the usual testlib
macros to compare and verify values in asynchronous tests that would
otherwise need to hand-test values and send a signal on failure (that
the main test can connect to an event-loops quit() or equivalent).

For example, QLocalSocket's benchmark simply uses the usual macros,
without doing anything to stop its event loop if they fail, with the
sad result that, when a test fails, it does so repeatedly and then
times out, causing the test program to be killed without running later
tests. With this change, that test code (once converted to use
QTestEventLoop) is able to exit gracefully on the first failure.

[ChangeLog][QtTest][QTestEventLoop] The QTestEventLoop new exits its
event loop as soon as the test is known to be failing.
