Description

We want to add a configuration to CLITestHelper so we can skip some tests on Windows. We want this feature because some test cases in TestHDFSCLI should not be tested on Windows. Or more specifically, the globbing test cases. The differences are explained in HDFS-4632. The proposed syntax looks like follows.

<test> <!-- TESTED -->
      <description>ls: Negative test for quoted /*/* globbing </description>
      <windows>false</windows>

When Windows set to false, we will skip running the test on Windows.
