Description

Support XFAIL outcomes

ReporterPlus currently recognizes the xfail marker but treats xfailed tests as passed. Add support for a dedicated XFAILED status, separate summary counts and filters, while preserving logs and attachments.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore the codebase to understand how test outcomes are processed and reported, focusing on the handling of the XFAIL marker. Find where statuses are defined, summary counts are computed, and filters are applied. Then plan to add a new XFAILED status by extending the enumeration, updating summary logic, and preserving logs and attachments.
