test/py: ensure a log section exists for skipped tests

In pytest 3, runtestprotocol() may not call pytest_runtest_setup() if
the test is skipped. That call is required to create a section for the
test in the log file. If this is skipped, the call to log.end_section()
at the tail of pytest_runtest_protocol() will throw an exception. This
patch ensures that a log section always exists, both to avoid the
exception and to ensure that a consistently structured log file is
always created.
