Glenn Washburn 1437647052 Revert "tests: Skip tests if required tools are not available"
As explained in commit a21618c8a (tests: Test aborts due to missing
requirements should be marked as error instead of skipped) and in the
Automake manual[1], skipped tests are tests that should not be run, e.g.
running the ohci test on the powerpc-ieee1275 as there are no native ohci
drivers for that platform. Test that fail for reasons other than there is
a bug in GRUB code that is causing the test to fail are hard errors.
Commonly this is because the test is run in an improperly configured
environment, like required programs are missing. If a hard error condition
is identified with a SKIP return code, the person running the tests can not
know without investigating every skip if a SKIP in the tests was because
the test does not apply to the target being tested or because the user had
a misconfigured environment that was causing the test not to run. By
ensuring that a test is skipped only when it should not run, the person
running the test can be sure that there is no need to investigate why the
test was skipped.

This reverts commit bf13fed5f (tests: Skip tests if required tools are not available).

This is GRUB 2, the second version of the GRand Unified Bootloader.
GRUB 2 is rewritten from scratch to make GNU GRUB cleaner, safer, more
robust, more powerful, and more portable.

See the file NEWS for a description of recent changes to GRUB 2.

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install the
GRUB 2 data and program files.

See the file MAINTAINERS for information about the GRUB maintainers, etc.

If you found a security vulnerability in the GRUB please check the SECURITY
file to get more information how to properly report this kind of bugs to
the maintainers.

Please visit the official web page of GRUB 2, for more information.
The URL is <http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub.html>.

More extensive documentation is available in the Info manual,
accessible using 'info grub' after building and installing GRUB 2.

There are a number of important user-visible differences from the
first version of GRUB, now known as GRUB Legacy. For a summary, please
