Zack Galbreath 65260d6c1e ctest: only report make-level errors when no others are found
In commit ab9ad2a6a0 (ctest: report make-level errors to CDash when
using launchers, 2020-09-24, v3.19.0-rc1~84^2~1) we taught CTest to
capture and report errors from the build command when using launchers.

This had the unintended side effect of reporting a separate build error containing
the full build output when the build command returns non-zero. To fix this problem,
we now only report build command errors from CTest launchers when no other
more specific build errors are found.

Fixes: #23991

CMake Tests Directory
*********************

This directory contains the CMake test suite.
See also the `CMake Source Code Guide`_.

.. _`CMake Source Code Guide`: ../Help/dev/source.rst

Many tests exist as immediate subdirectories, but some tests
are organized as follows.

* ``CMakeLib/``:
  Source code, used for tests, that links to the ``CMakeLib`` library
  defined over in ``Source/``.

* ``CMakeOnly/``:
  Deprecated.  Tests that run CMake to generate a project but not build it.
  Superseded by ``Tests/RunCMake/``.

* ``Find*/``:
  Tests for specific find modules that can only be run on machines with
  the corresponding packages installed.  They are enabled in
  ``CMakeLists.txt`` by undocumented options used on CI builds.

* ``Module/``:
  Tests for specific CMake modules.

* ``RunCMake/``:
  Tests that run CMake and/or other tools while precisely checking
  their return code and stdout/stderr content.  Useful for testing
  error cases and diagnostic output.
