send out email per test fauilure

[roxell]

Send out emails per test failures and if the failure haven't been fixed within X new builds send out an email again. Different subject lines if all targets fails or only a few... so its easy to filter emails.

Currently, our emails are based on the state of a given kernel revision. The idea here is to produce emails that are based on the state of a given test.. i.e. 'failing since XXX on branch 4.15, failing since YYY on branch 4.9, passing on branch 4.4'. Frequency should not be for every failed test, but perhaps some period like: first fail, second fail, Nth failure after 5 days, 10 days, etc.

This probably closely ties into being able to mark 'known failures' features, and also being able to automatically update a bug tracking database with failures.

@roxell , @danrue is still wanted?

I wonder how much email traffic it would generate.

I don't think squad should be doing this quite yet. I think this is something we're considering in our reporting.
