Summary of changes
Quick PR to improve quality of life for us devs! Until now, if a Greentea test obviously died (HardFault or assertion failure), the test runner would just keep on truckin', waiting for the timeout to expire before failing the test. Since some tests (esp. network ones) can have timeouts up to 20 minutes, this could result in a lot of wasted time!
With this PR, the mbed_error() handler will now output a Greentea KV pair that tells the test runner "hey, this test crashed", so it can immediately end the test.
