Syntax Test Results Output suggestions

[deathaxe]

Problem description

Just some feedback after some hours of working with new syntax tests of ST4181+.

1. The output view should be read-only.

2. Maybe some more settings from "Widget.sublime-settings" should be specified to ensure a certain look and behavior under all circumstances.

   _I certainly stumbled over draw_white_space as my custom settings caused unwanted dots in pseudo-gutter. Maybe a question of taste though._

   Maybe, "fold_style": "auto" should be enforced to ensure syntax based folding always applies.

3. Maybe a dedicated Syntax Test Results.sublime-menu (or Syntax Test Results Context.sublime-menu) could be applied with only required entries, inspired by Widgets Context.sublime-menu. Most of normal context menu entries just don't make sense in context of syntax test results output, IMHO.

Preferred solution

Changes to Packages/Default/run_syntax_tests.py

Adds most settings from "Widget.sublime-settings" to add some (hopefully) safe defaults.
