feature request: non critical test

[UnixJunkie]

I.e. the ability to declare a test as non critical if failing.
A warning could be generated and printed out, but the test suite should not fail just because
of such test failing.

The long story, some users ran the batteries test suite on an overloaded computer, then
complained that some of the tests fail in that situation...

what would the test do, then? emit a warning?

I'm on the fence judging whether this is PEBKAC or a good idea.

[UnixJunkie]

Yes, just log a warning.
This is not a "PEBKAC". Just a feature request.
If some other people find it useful, then it might be.
If not, then not (and dump it).

I mean, about the person who tried to run the tests on an overloaded machine. I'd merge a PR for that but right now I have other things to do…
