While the discussion about how to refactor test framework is not
finished (#1654), make this change: move `rm -rf build` in the
beginning of the test. For these reasons:
* it is useful to inspect the contents of the `build` directory
especially after the test failure
* if build crashes mid-test (e.g. process killed), next run should
not be affected by the `build` directory from the previous run
Can't export a type which refers to a private name. This has caught a
couple of visibility errors in the libraries, code and tests, so they've
been updated too.
