testdesc: Report each unsupported test individually

Simon McVittie requested to merge smcv/autopkgtest:log-all-unsupported-tests into master

Previously, if a stanza in d/tests/control had unknown fields or unsupported restrictions, we would log that for the first test in the stanza (only), for example:

Tests: one two
Restrictions: needs-root

Tests: foo bar
Restrictions: needs-more-cowbell

would be logged as

one                  SKIP Test needs root on testbed which is not available
foo                  SKIP unknown restriction needs-more-cowbell

This is sufficiently confusing that it led me to file an invalid bug report about autopkgtest not supporting space-separated tests. If we report the Unsupported exception for each test-case, it becomes clearer what's really going on:

one                  SKIP Test needs root on testbed which is not available
two                  SKIP Test needs root on testbed which is not available
foo                  SKIP unknown restriction needs-more-cowbell
bar                  SKIP unknown restriction needs-more-cowbell

Closes: #851232
