Description
call_command('loaddata'...) does not throw an exception if loading the fixture fails. I was trying to use this in a test runner, and it would be nice to early-exit the runner if a fixture load fails.
It would be nice of call_command returned False or threw an exception upon the command failing.

loaddata does now raises CommandError on failure (6fd1950a4e29c1b5ed071a880db64103715ead51).

I almost opened this exact same ticket yesterday. It will require some reworking of the overall machinery for management commands since right now returned values are treated as if they should be output to the user instead of treated as return codes, but overall this is quite necessary.
