Bug 1147723 - Avoid non TEST_PASS/TEST_UNEXPECTED_FAIL output from test_files.py.

Bug 1147760 - In mozpack.files.FileCopier.copy, remove files after copying.

-Some file types, such as XPTFile, read their associated data during the

copy. In the case of XPTFiles, several original files are linked together

in one destination file. When a FileCopier is used in-place, those

original files are removed before XPTFile.copy is invoked, so XPTFile.copy

fails.

-Generally speaking, there are many other reasons why FileCopier can fail

in-place, but the only active use of this mode is l10n repack code, which

actually doesn't do much of the dangerous uses. However, it can end up

linking XPTFiles for some reason, which fails for the reasons given above.
