tests: handle Python 3 not quoting non-empty-directory error

I assume this happens on Windows too, so I did the same regex on both
versions of the output. The whole message printed by these aborts
comes from Python, so if we want to exert control over the quoting
here it'll be a bit of a pain.

This directory is meant to cache artifacts useful for tests (such as bundle).

Those artifacts need to be cached because they are slow to regenerate on each
test but too large to be tracked within the repository. They are not expected
to change between each run and can be cached.

The `./scripts/` contains code to generate the artifact while the `cache`
directory contains resulting artifact.
