#4132 with title
"qa_automation: add new design for QA:HEAD tests" added the use of the test
variable QA_TESTSUITE whereas qam uses QA_TESTSET only. Checked with
https://github.com/okurz/scripts/blob/master/openqa-db_query_last_use_of_module
and found no QAM job running execute_test_run.
https://openqa.suse.de/admin/test_suites shows that there are mainly QAM jobs
using QA_TESTSET however some others as well. QA_TESTSUITE is not used for
anything with a prefix like "qam". To me it looks like both are doing more or
less the equivalent except that based on QA_TESTSET shows the output of
individual test modules and also there is no module "execute_test_run" that
would fail and is hard to label.
The approach based on QA_TESTSET seems to provide much better visualization of
test results using the more recent openQA feature to show "External results".
