Summary: Handle OutOfMemoryError immediately in TestResult

Initial Comment:
An OutOfMemoryError can prevent the JUnit test from
running to completion due to lack of memory. Currently
(in version 3.8.1)
junit.framework.TestResult.runProtected catches
OutOfMemoryErrors as part of the Throwable catch clause
and continues. It should catch OutOfMemoryError
separately and either just rethrow it or report the
error in the JUnit error list and stop the test run.
I'm including a patch for the latter solution. Also
included is a test case that demonstrates that JUnit is
stopped when an OutOfMemoryError occurs in one of the
tests.
