Done with strtod to avoid debates on 80-bit vs 128-bit long doubles.
Fwiw, I'd done it this way as conversion from TMA_Metrics.xlsx
sometimes yields a number as .5 rather than 0.5 which causes strtod to
choke. Checking on:
https://download.01.org/perfmon/
The csv isn't doing this (Intel feature request, can we get a tsv as
the comma in a csv is naively matched with commas in min, max and
other expressions) and presumably we can fix any xls conversion
script.

I've added a subtest helper that gives a reason for a skip, similar to
get_desc, this avoids changing all the test function parameters and is
ignored if not initialized.
