Change the test output to print needed prerequisites as part of the TAP. This makes it easy to see at a glance why a test was skipped. Before:

    ok 7 # skip <message>
    ok 9 # skip <message>

After:

    ok 7 # skip <message> (prereqs: DONTHAVEIT)
    ok 9 # skip <message> (prereqs: HAVEIT,DONTHAVEIT)

This'll also be useful for smoke testing output, where the developer reading the output may not be familiar with the system where tests are being skipped.
