Bug Description

it would be useful if subunit-filter had a way to change some failures/errors in a subunit stream to xfail based on an external list of test ids.

Samba uses this heavily for protocol tests that run against multiple servers, not all of which properly implement the protocol (yet).

Similarly, I'd like to use this for bzr-git testing, where I run all of the generic per_repository tests from bzr but not all of them pass yet. If I can filter out all failures I'm aware of it's easier to find regressions.

(samba currently has its own thing that implements this)

While Jelmer's branch is merged, he has indicated an intent to do further refactoring (perhaps along the line the review suggested) with a mind to make the samba code obsolete.
