[Xenomai] xeno-regression-test returns SUCCESS when Xenomai not available

[Gernot Hillier <gernot.hillier@siemens.com>]

Hi there!

I'm currently working on an automatic test environment for Xenomai
kernels. Sometimes, Xenomai integration into my kernel fails completely 
and I expected this to be detected in a xeno-regression-test run - however:

root@localhost:~# xeno-regression-test && echo Worked.
Started child 28231: /bin/bash 
/usr/lib/xenomai/testsuite/xeno-test-run-wrapper 
/usr/bin/xeno-regression-test
++ echo 0

file or directory

Xenomai: /dev/rtheap is missing
(chardev, major=10 minor=254)
Worked.

Looking into xeno-test-run.c, I see that a dead script child is not
causing an error exit of xeno-test-run in handle_script_child().

Is there any special reason for that behaviour or could we just add a
comparable EXIT_FAILURE branch as in handle_checked_child(), something
like

                 child_cleanup(child);

+               }
                 return;
         }

However, as I didn't really get the concept yet how script and checked
clients work together, I'm not sure whether this is the right way to 
fix(?) that behaviour.
