Details

|./mach gtest| does not copy the files listed in TEST_HARNESS_FILES.gtest to their intended location prior to running gtests.

For example: First do a full build, then apply the following patch: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=8660683
(or something similar if that patch is already there)
Then running |./mach gtest| rebuilds the necessary executable files, but the test fails because the expected test file is missing -- causing the poor developer some stress trying to figure out what is wrong with the test!

Doing |./mach build| fixes that, but it would be great if |./mach gtest| did it too.
mach gtest is a special snowflake. It'd be nice if it was more in line with our other test commands.
