[JENKINS-32878] Misleading information if parsing xml report failed

When parsing xml report failed with know bug:

java.util.MissingResourceException: Could not load any resource bundle by com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.msg.SAXMessages

plugin marks test result as failure and shows output of "failed" test its error message during parsing. This is really confusing. I think that there would be some state like unknow or unreachable and output should not be definitely error message during parsing result xml. Or at least build should faild and inform user that results of his tests was not parsed.

Start with the junit-plugin path that parses XML reports and reproduce the MissingResourceException described in the issue. Determine how parsing failures are currently represented and what user-facing result is expected, then add coverage showing that an unparsed report is not presented as a failed test.
