Previously, any t_skip would cause the final test result to be a failure because up until now no test should have been skipped. However, with format-version-forward-back not being compatible with el9, we are going to rely on el7/8 testing for that test soleley, and therefore we have to allow skipping of this test on el9 and newer OS versions. We add `t_skip_permitted` to signal this from the test case to the run-tests.sh script. A new exit code is passed, and all accounting is updated to reflect that a test was skipped, but this was permitted. We modify format-version-forward-back to use this new exit path.

Introduction
scoutfs is a clustered in-kernel Linux filesystem designed to support large archival systems. It features additional interfaces and metadata so that archive agents can perform their maintenance workflows without walking all the files in the namespace. Its cluster support lets deployments add nodes to satisfy archival tier bandwidth targets.
The design goal is to reach file populations in the trillions, with the archival bandwidth to match, while remaining operational and responsive.
Highlights of the design and implementation include:
- Fully consistent POSIX semantics between nodes
- Atomic transactions to maintain consistent persistent structures
- Integrated archival metadata replaces syncing to external databases
- Dynamic seperation of resources lets nodes write in parallel
- 64bit throughout; no limits on file or directory sizes or counts
- Open GPLv2 implementation
