to imperatively mark a test as expected to fail. Can
be used from within setup and test functions. This is
useful especially for parametrized tests when certain
configurations are expected-to-fail. In this case the
declarative approach with the @py.test.mark.xfail cannot
be used as it would mark all configurations as xfail.

surrounding setup_module would fail, but the funcarg setup still be called (which might
assume that setup_module has been called so would raise a confusing error)

I also made sure, setup_module/class will only be called once - before they'd be call again
and again if they raise an error or a skip - for each test in their scope.

Important detail: if the setup raises a Skipped exception, teardown will not be called. This helps
to avoid breaking setup_module/class that performs a skip - it would otherwise internally
be considered as a "successful" setup in order to have teardown called later. I guess
it also makes sense to treat Skip specially because it is unlikely a teardown should be
called if a Skip was raised on setup.
In any case, failing setups and teardowns will be reported separately.
