[Piglit] [PATCH] framework: Handle tests with subtests crashing in totals

Currently piglit doesn't account for a test with subtests crashing when
it calculates the total number of tests of each status. The result is
that if a test with subtests runs no tests before crashing it is handled
correctly (since it goes down the non-subtest path), but if one or more
subtests are run, and those tests return a better result than crash,
then the test will be marked as that status instead.

The real problem is that the python framework has no idea how many
subtests that a test binary is going to run, so if the test crashes it
has no idea if some subtests weren't run. To paper over that if the
result of a test is not the same as the worst result of it's subtests
we'll treat the test as a single test rather than a group, this results
in the summaries generating the expected results.

A better fix would be to have tests with subtests inform the framework
(preferably via JSON) that all of the subtests that it will run before
it starts running, so that the python framework can pre-populate the
subtests and generate the right result.

This solution is a better in the short term because it makes the results
consistent, if a test crashes or not it will produce the same results.
