This patch addresses a couple related problems, all with the evaluation of testing.T failures. When `testing.T.Run()` is executed, a new goroutine is spawned with a new `testing.T` pointer. This specific goroutine's `testing.T` pointer needs to have *its* `testing.T.Error()` method called in order for that sub-test to be marked failed. We were erroneously calling `testing.T.Error()` within the `Scenario.Run()` method instead of inside the `Spec.Eval()` method, which resulted in the test scenario being marked failed instead of the individual test unit. We address the exec plugin's `Spec.Eval()` in this patch to call `testing.T.Error()` on any assertion failure however additional patches are coming for the http and kube plugins. Finally, I made a change to the `gdterrors.TimeoutExceeded()` function to allow for an assertion failure message to be supplied to the error producer, making it easier for folks to see "this test assertion failed to succeed before a timeout of (duration)".
