RFR 8057742: ant clean test should not fail if one or more external test suites are missing

[Marcus Lagergren]

I’m not particularly against that- that be fine - a little reminder to run ‘ant externals’ to get full test coverage. But it still has to say zero failures after the run (albeit having run fewer tests than with externals). Otherwise it scares people.

If I do a fresh checkout and not run "ant externals", now I won't get a signal that some tests weren't run, and maybe I'll mistakenly think everything passed. How about at least an <echo> in build.xml that'll print a warning after a successful test run that some tests were skipped as externals aren't available?
