Yeah: there are two sorf-of separable decisions here:
1) What result should a test with no subtests return?
2) Do we want to trigger any other errors/warnings.
I think the answer to 1 is that kunit_tool should report the result
printed in the KTAP output. I agree that, for parameterised tests,
though, that SKIPPED makes more sense than PASSED. (kunit_tool has a
separate NO_TESTS result, which we could maybe try to generate and
handle explicitly. I think we might as well leave that for the "no
tests run at all" case for now.)
For 2, I feel that this definitely should count as a "warning", but
all we have at the moment are "errors", which I feel is probably a bit
too strong a term for this. Given errors don't actually halt parsing,
I'm okay with generating them in kunit_tool in this case, but I'd
probably slightly prefer to leave it with SKIPPED, and maybe add a
warning later.
