The commit allow users to add a properties node in testsuite level see
example below:
<testsuite errors="0" failures="0" name="pytest" skips="1" tests="1"
time="11.824">
<properties>
<property name="ARCH" value="PPC"/>
<property name="OS" value="RHEL 7.2"/>
<property name="TestPlanURL" value="https://url.."/>
<property name="Automated" value="True"/>
</properties>
<testcase classname="git.....>
</testcase>
</testsuite>
The current situation is that properties node can be added to every
testcase node. However, sometimes we need some global properties that
applies to all testcases and give better description for the testsuite
itself.
