Fixes #9928
Context
OOM in custom tasks is rethrown to RequestBuilder, where it is logged as an MSBuild bug.
We might try - on best effort basis - to log an error for the task little more up the stack and then continue in unrolling as before. If we succeed - we get better logging experience for the case; if we fail - we get the same experience as before.
Changes Made
TaskBuilderRequestThreadProcandBuildAndReportmethods merged into single one - so that writing the 'error dump' file (MSBuild***.failure.txt) is deterministically written before reporting the result backDebugUtils.DebugPath- as this was set before any unit test was given chance to start, so injecting altering env var was not possible.Testing
Added test with dummy OOM (not a real CLR OOM - in order to have deterministic test outputs)
Notes
Discussed the OOM handling with @janvorli (for a perspective from the Runtime PoV) - we should not make no expectations that anything can succeed after OOM catching (though this migh get more successful in single threaded processing - which MSBuild currently is), but if we are fine with the handler possibly failing (which basically leads to pre-existing behavior) - than there should not be any security nor corectness concerns.
