Summary run-webkit-tests should run failing tests so it's easier to spot fixed tests

The current mechanism for dealing with failing regression tests is to put them in a Skipped file, which means that under normal conditions the tests will never be run. This makes it hard to know when a test is fixed. It would be nice if we could check in the failing results for tests but mark them as known failures. After a test run, run-webkit-tests could tell you which tests failed (as it currently does), and which known failures had different results.

Perhaps we could make the Skipped file use an INI format, with sections such as [fail] and [hang]. We'd probably want to rename Skipped to Failures or Exceptions or something similar.
