In cases like https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=mozilla-inbound&revision=e78342f09ee6e90b78dc098742f3b0bae3b9bc84&filter-searchStr=test-verify&filter-tier=1&filter-tier=2&filter-tier=3, the test being verified fails frequently, so when we run the test with --repeat, the same failure is hit time and time again, cluttering the test summary. I think it will be better / tidier / easier to understand if we run with runUntilFailure.
We already do this for reftests: https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/f9a5e9ed62103c84e4cde915f4d08f1ce71be83e/layout/tools/reftest/runreftest.py#437 I believe there is no such option for xpcshell tests.
