[issue30997] TestCase.subTest and expectedFailure

[Ronald Oussoren]

New submission from Ronald Oussoren:

It would be nice if there were a way to mark a TestCase.subTest as an expected failure.

I have a number of testcases that use the subTest feature and where a small subset of those tests are expected failures due to platform issues. It would be nice if it were possible to mark those tests as such. 

I'm currently using self.skipTest() to mark these subTests as special, but that's less than ideal.
