Item9165: create a way to list/annotate and run a slice of tests

I'm thinking of adding a hash of tests that should expected_fail on a case insensitive file system.

that way, we could also run all tests are are expected to fail for a reason, and thus work on changing that.

this way we know what should fail, rather than delaying this knowledge until the test is run...

I think I've implemented the API to get this done in Item11479, $this->expect_failure(using => 'LowerCaseFS') - you just need to create an 'LowerCaseFS' entry in the %foswiki_things hash in FoswikiTestCase.pm

As for only running tests expected to fail, I added the ability for tests to be skipped using a hash of tests vs conditions-for-skippage, this is done by implementing an skip($test) -> $reason method, see TemplatesTests.pm as an example, you could rip this off the same way to allow tests to implement an expect_failure($test) -> $reason.
