Generate a Skip test (as in nose) instead of a fail test

Registered by Paul Hildebrandt

When running Pythoscope on a legacy code base there will mostly likely be a lot of unit test stubs generated. Having all these failures show up can distract from actual failures. If Pythoscope could be default generate a skip test, like in nose, it would alleviate this problem.
