Skipped this test on Yosemite to get the bots back to green during investigation <https://trac.webkit.org/r195996>

This result is inconsistent on our various test machines because they seem to have a different set of plugins installed:
* Some have Java installed
* Some have Quicktime installed
* Some have neither

We need to decide on a consistent set of plugins and deploy them on all the test machines.

[Alexey Proskuryakov]

I don;t think that this would be the correct response. Tests need to pass on engineers'  machines too, so they should pass regardless of installed plug-ins.

Normally it’s better to do something to make it clear that the test ran and we didn’t just hit a JavaScript exception. Could just use "PASS" or "FAIL: Unexpected ..." and then we’d notice that the PASS was missing if the test didn't even run.

I agree with Darin's comment, please do address it. That seems straightforward enough to not require additional review, so r=me.

Understood -- I'll revise to address that.
