[issue9857] SkipTest in tearDown is reported an as an error

[Michael Foord]

Interesting use case.

If the test has not yet failed this is fine. The problem is that if an exception has *already* been raised then it will already have been added to the result - so by then skipping is meaningless (or contradictory - the test can fail *and* skip).
