There are several configure settings that should have different default values depending on if configure is run as part of a CI build, or a local developer.

We should have a `--with-build-env=ci/dev` argument that lets you chose such build environment. Furthermore, configure should look for the industry standard "CI" environment variable to determine if it is running in a CI environment, and if so, select the ci build env as default. (This is supported e.g. by GHA).

Most prominently is the jtreg failure handler, which will halt with a sudo prompt unless running on a properly configured CI machine on macOS. There is no reason to run the failure handler at all unless you are running on a CI machine, so disabling the failure handler by default for developer build environments will fix this problem.

-------------

Commit messages:
 - No need to set jtreg failure handler on GHA either
 - Let configure decide if failure handler should be enabled or not
 - Turn off failure handler by default in dev build env
 - 8300120: Configure should support different defaults for CI/dev build environments
