Description
Currently pytest-html report is wasting a huge amount of valuable screen space with boilerplace stuff, which most of the time are of no use to the user. In 99% of the cases the user that opens a report is doing it because a test failed, so he should not have to scroll down in order to find out which test failed.
I proposed few changes in the annotated screenshot I made in order to get some feedback from project maintainers regarding if they want these feature or not. Once I get the feedback I can work on making a PR to improve the output.

Seek maintainer feedback on the desired report layout before locating implementation files; the work is done when an agreed design is implemented and the report presents failed tests without the described unnecessary scrolling.
