This series introduces "-q <n>" option to support unconditional looping.
Along with this, it also brings some improvements to output data both, in stdout
and in result.log.

-q <n> option can be useful for fast unconditional looping (compared to
-I <n>) to test a certain flakey test and get it's pass/fail metrics.

This is similar to -L <n>, although with -L the test only loops if it
fails the 1st time.
The individual patches can provide more details about other changes and
improvements.

[v1] -> [v2]
 1. This patch series removes the central config fs feature from [v1] (patch 4
    patch 5) so that this can be reviewed separately. No functional changes.
 2. Added R.B tag of Darrick is patch  1/5.
