 Due to a design decision that I've since come to regret, there's a ton of
 unnecessary bloat in make/hosting's post meta.

 Specifically, each PHPUnit testing result post includes
 [https://gist.github.com/danielbachhuber/2718e5f53c219ce544ec7a9021202371
 thousands of lines of data] in the `testsuites` array key of the `result`
 meta key. In this particular example, all of the `testsuites` data is
 unnecessary to store. It's only necessary to store any `testsuites` data
 if one of the test suites actually failed.

 This issue is [https://github.com/WordPress/phpunit-test-
 runner/commit/0c8da217b0fc84e27affaa620f0eeb1a4f3cd739 fixed in the test
 runner] but I'd like to clean up our existing data too (in part so I can
 WXR export and use the data locally).

 [https://gist.github.com/danielbachhuber/4a2f635c777df9538e8e98ba485a3fa4
 Here's a script to perform said cleanup]. I've tested it locally and
 achieved the results I expected.

 Can I run this against the make/hosting site in my sandbox, or is there
 some other preferred way of performing this task?
