Gregory Szorc 8e85824bcb Bug 1411462 - Abort when I/O error seen; r=glandium
Before, I/O errors writing to stdout/stderr (e.g. due to broken pipe)
would result in handleError() being called and execution would
keep running. This would potentially result in an error message for
every log/line failure being printed to stderr.

We change the behavior so I/O failures are fatal and abort
execution.

We test the new behavior by changing a test to pipe to `head`
directly. Since `head` exits once it has seen sufficient output,
this results in an EPIPE which now results in immediate program
termination.

README

This directory contains common Python code.

The basic rule is that if Python code is cross-module (that's "module" in the
Mozilla meaning - as in "module ownership") and is MPL-compatible, it should
go here.

What should not go here:

* Vendored python modules (use third_party/python instead)
* Python that is not MPL-compatible (see other-licenses/)
* Python that has good reason to remain close to its "owning" (Mozilla)
  module (e.g. it is only being consumed from there).
