Right now results.json uses a JSON-like format that's meant for the flakiness dashboard (it has a custom compression scheme, wraps the JSON in an ADD_RESULT method, etc.).

Since we don't actually need it for the flakiness dashboard anymore (it uses incremental_results.json), we should repurpose results.json to have a format closed to unexpected_results.json (which is a straightforward mapping from test name to expected and actual result). That would then make it easier to programatically parse the results of a NRWT run (the way webkitpy.common.net.layouttestresults.LayoutTestResults parses results.html for old-RWT - we should make that class handle either result type).
