Deduplicate `Builder::try_run` and mark `Config::try_run` as deprecated

This does three things:
1. Remove `forward!(Build, fn try_run())`. Having `try_run` behave differently as a free function than an associated function is confusing, and `Builder::try_run` is a very desirable name.
2. Move `test::try_run` and `run::try_run` to `Builder::try_run`. These functions are different than `Config::try_run` - they delay the failure and print it out at the end of the build.
3. Mark `Config::try_run` as deprecated to encourage people to use `Builder::try_run` instead.
