1337013 - Make gtest mach command invoke rungtests.py

Status: NEW

(Testing :: GTest, defect)

Description

The `mach gtest` command is what developers use to run gtests locally:
https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/1d025ac534a6333a8170a59a95a8a3673d4028ee/python/mozbuild/mozbuild/mach_commands.py#871

rungtests.py is what we use to run gtests in automation:
https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/testing/gtest/rungtests.py

The former does not currently invoke the latter, which is kind of terrible! It basically duplicates all the logic. It would be great to fix that.

This should be a mostly-straightforward bug for someone who knows Python. The other test harnesses and mach commands that invoke them should be a useful reference for a nicer way to do things.

(bug 1337012 is some unrelated cleanup work that'd also touch the mach command.)
