When a test is skipped because of unmet dependencies and/or unsupported
configuration, kselftest_harness exits with error which is treated as a
fail by the Kselftest framework. This leads to false negative result even
when the test could not be run.

Change it to return kselftest skip code when a test gets skipped to
clearly report that the test could not be run. This change add skip
handling to kselftest_harness with minimal changes adding a new skipped
field to struct __test_metadata and using it to recognize KSFT_SKIP exit
from the test function (t->fn) to __run_test() to the test_harness_run()
to return the right skip code to Kselftest framework.

Kselftest framework SKIP code is 4 and the framework prints appropriate
messages to indicate that the test is skipped.

This change is tested on uevent test and the results are as follows:

Before:

TAP version 13
selftests: uevent: uevent_filtering
========================================
[==========] Running 1 tests from 1 test cases.
[ RUN      ] global.uevent_filtering
uevent_filtering.c:355:global.uevent_filtering:Uevent filtering tests require 
root privileges. Skipping test
global.uevent_filtering: Test skipped at step #4
[     FAIL ] global.uevent_filtering
[==========] 0 / 1 tests passed.
[  FAILED  ]
not ok 1..1 selftests: uevent: uevent_filtering [FAIL]

After:

TAP version 13
selftests: uevent: uevent_filtering
========================================
[==========] Running 1 tests from 1 test cases.
[ RUN      ] global.uevent_filtering
uevent_filtering.c:355:global.uevent_filtering:Uevent filtering tests require 
root privileges. Skipping test
global.uevent_filtering: Test skipped at step #4
[     SKIP ] global.uevent_filtering
not ok 1..1 selftests: uevent: uevent_filtering [SKIP]
