r36475. Please review. We can adjust terminology.

This introduces the concept of a "work in progress" test; It's similar
to an XPASS, except that neither pass nor fail is treated as a test
failure. The test results are summarized separately so that they don't
get lost in the noise, and there's a separate kind of "work-in-progress"
description distinct from the test name.

I adjusted the patch-tests and one XFAILing fs-test to this new concept.
