fix(confusion-matrix): a campaign that died is missing data, not a true negative

The sweep-level loop excluded a run on launch_error alone, while
excludedBecause already checked the campaign process's exit code. An
interrupted campaign wrote exit_code -1 with an empty launch_error, so
its one completed seed scored the implementation as a clean cell on a
tenth of the planned evidence.

The fixture builder wrote one exit code into both the sweep record and
the campaign run record, which is why no test could tell the two levels
apart.
