mach test-devtools
uses unittest without unittest.main(), so we can parse arguments and set up the test runner how we want, but this means there’s currently no way to filter tests on the command line.this patch plumbs the positional arguments (if any) into the TestLoader’s testNamePatterns, with extra logic to treat any pattern

. this is the same behaviour as unittest.main()-k
:Testing: not really worth automated testing, but tested manually above
