Currently, in both the test code and the parallel execution
code we log the exceptions that happened during a test's
execution, which means we log the same exception in 2 different
places. It looks like too much error duplication in logs. Also,
even exceptions that we expect to see in logs, such as
error.TestFail (which basically marks a test as FAILed) will
produce the same result.

So, let's just log the exceptions as DEBUG messages on client's
debug log. This way, test authors can still see errors and
debug their test code if they chose to execute autotest with
--verbose or look at the DEBUG logs of the client.
