[RFC/PATCH] tests: optionally fail passed todo immediately

Add "--fail-passed-todo" option to stop the test immediately when a test that is expected to fail succeeds. After seeing the test stop, the developer can go to the trash directory and inspect why it failed to fail as expected.

I usually just insert "exit" after such test with an editor, but an option like this might be easier to use. I dunno.

 * Stopping immediately after a test that is failing (and expected
   to fail) and then going to the trash directory to inspect the
   status of the sandbox are the first two steps I often end up
   doing while fixing a bug.  It may make sense to add an option to
   cause the test to stop at a failure of test_expect_failure, but
   that is a separate topic.
