[issue9454] unittest.expectedFailure decorator does not maintain target function's docstring.

[Mark Smith]

New submission from Mark Smith <mark.smith at practicalpoetry.co.uk>:

When running tests with -v, the test runner prints out the docstring of each test method, if present, and falls back to the method name if it's not present.

Test methods wrapped with @expectedFailure do not print out their docstring, so it looks like the docstring is not copied to the wrapper function.

Failing test coming soon, hopefully followed by a patch to fix :)
