Description
currently, it is only supported for ui tests, but it would be nice to also have it for at least the following:
-
rustdoc -
rustdoc-js -
run-make -
rustdoc-json
documentation for how known-bug works is sparse, so it's not entirely clear how it would interact with other test suites.

Research direction
Start in compiletest support for the existing known-bug directive used by UI tests, then compare how the rustdoc, rustdoc-js, run-make, and rustdoc-json suites are configured. Read the sparse directive documentation and existing behavior first; done means the requested suites handle known-bug consistently, with its interactions with other suite behavior clarified and covered.
