[PATCH] ci(github): also skip logs of broken test cases

From: Philippe Blain via GitGitGadget <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

Message-ID: <pull.1649.git.git.1705808313306.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Philippe Blain <levraiphilippeblain@gmail.com>

When a test fails in the GitHub Actions CI pipeline, we mark it up using special GitHub syntax so it stands out when looking at the run log. We also mark up "fixed" test cases, and skip passing tests since we want to concentrate on the failures.

The finalize_test_case_output function in test-lib-github-workflow-markup.sh which performs this markup is however missing a fourth case: "broken" tests, i.e. tests using 'test_expect_failure' to document a known bug. This leads to these "broken" tests appearing along with any failed tests, potentially confusing the reader who might not be aware that "broken" is the status for 'test_expect_failure' tests that indeed failed, and wondering what their commits "broke".

Also skip these "broken" tests so that only failures and fixed tests stand out.

     * An example of a run with failed tests appearing along with several
       "broken" tests:
