changing tests to check for success via the TestResult object and changing the exit code - previously failing tests were not  being picked up by the gitlab runner

reseting the IntegrationTestUtils.TEST_OUT_PATH variable upon loading each test class, was having its value carried across from previous test runs when being run as past of a test suite

making gitignore ignore the contents of the log dir rather than the dir itself. Think it may be why the integration tests are failing

This reverts commit 8c32ad24

This allows the ODK export functionality to append latest changes
to a single database path, instead of downloading the full database
history which can stretch over many years. This saves a lot of time
for the daily survey job.

The WRSIS survey processor can already limit the download size to
the current season(s) with a start-date parameter.

The Kobotoolbox survey processor doesn't have a solution for
avoiding the daily download of extensive historical data. This needs
investigating further at some point.

This will be helpful in cases when a given day's source calculation
fails as it allows the NAME spore dispersion model to run with the
previous day's calculation, provided there are no new surveys on
the latest day (which will only be known about once there is a
successful download again).

This reverts commit d84d1b1e.
