[wptrunner] Allow expectation inheritance from __dir__.ini

1 seems to imply a test without per-test metadata can inherit the expected key of an ancestor __dir__.ini, but this does not actually work currently. This change applies the metadata search the other properties use to expected and known_intermittent. Special care was taken to ensure expected and known_intermittent are retrieved from the same key-value node.

One use case for a directory-wide expectation is to suppress failures that share a common cause (e.g., flag-enabled functionality). This avoids the need to create per-test metadata files with repeated contents that are not ergonomic to update.
