[compiletest] Ignore known paths when abbreviating output
To prevent out of memory conditions, compiletest limits the amount of output a test can generate, abbreviating it if the test emits more than a threshold. While the behavior is desirable, it also causes some issues (like rust-lang#96229, rust-lang#94322 and rust-lang#92211).
The latest one happened recently, when the `src/test/ui/numeric/numeric-cast.rs` test started to fail on systems where the path of the rust-lang/rust checkout is too long. This includes my own development machine and [LLVM's CI](rust-lang#96362 (comment)). Rust's CI uses a pretty short directory name for the checkout, which hides these sort of problems until someone runs the test suite on their own computer.
When developing the fix I tried to find the most targeted fix that would prevent this class of failures from happening in the future, deferring the decision on if/how to redesign abbreviation to a later date. The solution I came up with was to ignore known base paths when calculating whether the output exceeds the abbreviation threshold, which removes this kind of nondeterminism.
