Nicely-formatted results not shown immediately on Testing Farm

See e.g. https://artifacts.dev.testing-farm.io/79ea4616-48c9-4c9d-b15d-d8d2a4bfd0f5/

When you enter that page, you just see five red rows with expanders. If you open any of the first four expanders you get a terrifyingly large set of log messages you can't understand. If you open the fifth expander, you get the nice custom-built result display:

I think we intend to show that view immediately on page load, right? It shouldn't be hidden in a non-obvious place.

@lecris this looks like a regression from the previous version of rpminspect. Checking if outlook viewer could do better here

Yeah, those are meant to be subresults that we can then expose differently to the gating. Tmt also has more explicit subresult, but I don't think I've tried it out to see how testing-farm displays or categorizes it differently. Will try out a version with that soon.

The difficult thing that was with that is the interaction between subresult results and the overall results

It is not planned for subresults to affect the test outcome, and we do not expect them to gain this effect.

It does not seem too difficult, just never got to experimenting and understanding it.

Hold off while I check between my keyboard and chair.
