I feel dirty suggesting we do this, but the lack of action in bug 720452 doesn't leave me with much other choice. The failure modes there are not TBPL star-able, since the test name varies so much, so I propose we at least as a temporary measure output an additional failure line here: https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/diff/5a24cad1dd8a/layout/tools/reftest/reftest.js ...that can generate a bug suggestion.

The failure modes in bug 789751 and bug 720452 appear to affect all reftests indiscriminately, and as such the usual TBPL test filename search fails to succeed, resulting in sheriffs having to manually star the failures. This patch adds an additional log line for these no-reason failures, which intentionally doesn't follow the "three pipe delimeted fields" format, and so hits the TBPL fallback of searching Bugzilla for the entire line. Now bug 896840 will hopefully add failure reasons to more of the reftest load flow, to the point where we can fix these failures - but for now making them starable would make the sheriffs significantly more happy about the current situation (and also mean more easily filterable bugspam for those two bugs for everyone else too).
