RF7 > --name option causes ALL suites to run

[KyleTheScientist]

Say I have suite structure:

tests/
├──suite_one.robot
└──suite_two.robot

and I run pabot --name Windows --suite invalid --runemptysuite tests/. Since no suites exist named invalid, and therefore no tests match the criteria, Pabot launches a robot process with --suite Windows.

In RobotFramework 6, no tests would run because the suite Windows does not exist in the test structure, and robot would exit.

In RF7, the --name option is parsed earlier than the --suite option, causing the top-level suite to be renamed to "Windows" first, and then robot runs all the suites in the virtual "Windows" directory.

I think the correct behavior for when no tests are found but --runemptysuite is specified is for Pabot to pass the --suite option from the Pabot command directly to the robot process without replacement.
