Flake detection idea: automatically update and close a filed flake bug if that flake is not seen anymore

Project Member Reported by liaoyuke@chromium.org, May 18 2018

Issue description

Might be a nice feature to have in the new flake detection logic. One caveat is that:

If a flake is not seen anymore, the logic needs to make sure that that test is still running instead of being disabled.

This can work with Flake Analyzer as a tool to help developers verify a flake is fixed!

Currently we'll periodically check open bugs and save the updates to our datastore. But we'll not auto-close/auto-ping if the flakes stops to show up. Not sure if that's in a plan.

For verifying a flake is fixed, we already have another solution: FA can run the test for certain iterations on tip-of-tree.

In that sense I also lower the priority since this feature is more helpful on cleaning up stale issues.
