Auto merge of #3399 - RalfJung:ci, r=RalfJung

make CI failures easier to interpret

RUST_BACKTRACE=1 means we show 2 backtraces that are almost always irrelevant: from ui_test and from the miri script. Instead let's set the env var inside the test harness so we see backtraces of Miri ICEing but nothing else.
