In the long run, it might make more sense, and be more scalable, to
have those scripts define a "prepare_for_rerun" variable or function
which this code then runs generically rather than having special
knowledge of those facilities.

I could imagine, for instance, test-lib.sh defining a no-op:

    test_failure_prepare_rerun () {}

and then each of those scripts overriding the function:

    # in lib-git-p4.sh
    test_failure_prepare_rerun () {
        kill_p4d
    }

    # in lib-git-daemon.sh
    test_failure_prepare_rerun () {
        stop_git_daemon
    }

This junit-related stuff is getting pretty lengthy. I wonder if it
would make sense to pull it out to its own function at some point
(again, in the long run).
