test: fix flaky test-single-executable-application-empty

The test was flaky on Windows because postject WASM could abort
intermittently during SEA build. This change makes buildSEA handle
build failures gracefully by skipping tests when infrastructure issues
occur (like postject WASM aborting), while still throwing errors when
verifyWorkflow is true to catch actual workflow problems.

Added handling for SEA build failures in the test itself to properly
skip when the build fails due to infrastructure issues.
