1921936 - Add a mach command for wpt to automatically remove multiple status manifest entries for certain directories

Status: NEW

Cleaning up the manifest files is a tedious job when it comes to tests that intermittently fail and have multiple statuses assigned. An example is bug 1920573 for the clean-up of all webdriver specific tests.

Right now this is all manual work and kinda tedious to not make a failure when updating a file or removing the file completely. As such it would be great if there could be a wpt mach command like cleanup-manifest which can do that automatically for a given folder or if not given for everything.

As James said it shouldn't be too complicated given that the ini parser is already in use by wpt and as well the handling of entries in those manifest files.
