Hello Dev Members,

I have added a modern new UI for the JUnit Integration Test Results in the
Apache OFBiz project. Hopefully, you will like it as much as I do! 🙂

Please take a look at the new JUnit Reports UI here:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Mcg83h07TxpHHluCZ0V0QM9dTtQA_D2a?usp=drive_link

The Ant-based old JUnit Test Reports will be there as is for some time in
the OFBiz project.
I will be deleting the old test reports format in the upcoming days.

PR: https://github.com/apache/ofbiz-framework/pull/1584

The following points are covered in this commit/push.

Add modern JUnit5 test reports (single-page and framed) and fix a testdef
suite-name casing mismatch(just following the naming convention in one test
suite name)

1. Add a createModernTestReport Gradle task that runs alongside the
existing createTestReports (Ant-style) task

2. Parse the JUnit suite XML output into structured data shared by both new
report renderers

3. Render a single filterable HTML page summarizing all suites and their
test cases

4. Extract shared summary/detail rendering and add a URL-safe suite slug
for reuse across report pages

5. Add a navigable framed report (suite list plus per-suite detail pages)
alongside the single-page and Ant reports

6. Clear the framed report output directory before each run so stale
suite-*.html pages cannot linger from earlier runs

7. Add per-suite summary cards
(tests/failures/errors/skipped/time/timestamp/host) to both new reports,
matching the classic report's per-class summary

8. Purge stale suite XML before each test run so reports never blend
results from an earlier run with the current one

9. Share CSS/JS across the framed report's pages via
junit-report.css/junit-report.js instead of duplicating them on every page

10. Escape suite names before writing them into the framed report's
title/heading

11. Sort suites by their reported name instead of by filename, and guard
the summary totals against an empty suite list

12. Lowercase MinilangTests' suite-name/case-name for consistency with the
naming used by the other test suites, and rename the testdef file to match

13. Extract the modern/framed test report tasks and their helpers out of
build.gradle into test-reports.gradle, applied from build.gradle so it
still runs on every Gradle invocation
