#5998: Hosting test results "Failed" for tests that do not perform assertions.

 Several hosts have raised concerns about the "Failed" status showing on
 the [https://make.wordpress.org/hosting/test-results/ Hosting Test
 Results] page.

 A recent commit in Core revealed test methods that do not perform
 assertions. Investigation and resolution of these test methods is ongoing.

 However, in looking at the markup of the "Failed" status:
 {{{
 title="13432 tests, 0 failed, 30 errors"
 }}}

 From what I can tell:
 1. Risky tests are marked as errors.
 2. Errors create a "Failed" result.

 Is this the intended behaviour, or can risky tests like these be excluded
 so as not to create concern with hosts?
