Description
AFAIK WPT does not shuts the process down after a crashtest, and I've seen many cases in Mozilla where we opted not to write WPT solely because of that. Could be great if there is either:
- A type of crashtest that always shuts down the process after finished
- Or a mode that enables the behavior for all crashtests
See also https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1766711 and https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/issues/34256. (Duplicating here for me to write an RFC...)

Research direction
Start by reviewing the shutdown behavior described in this RFC and the referenced Bugzilla issue 1766711 and WPT issue 34256. Clarify whether the desired result is a new crashtest type or a mode for all crashtests; done means an RFC with a settled approach and defined shutdown behavior.
