The test runner also launches an HTTP server.

The server runs on port 9180 and serves the content from test/www
directory. Any tests can use this base URL to load test content and
to exercise certain PhantomJS API.

Port loading tests of web page.

Port custom headers testing of web page.

The HTTP server launched by the test runner has a new endpoint called
/echo. This simply echoes back some information (current on the made
request, in the future it will be expanded to further information)
formatted as JSON. This echo system facilitates easy testing for request
header manipulation feature.

Speed-up the tests: default auto-exit timeout is set to 1 second.

This reduces the total test duration from 72 seconds to 54 seconds.

Support globs in run-tests.py#TESTS.

This means that there is no longer a need to add every individual test
to the list; only new *directories* have to be mentioned.  New tests
can be added just by dropping .js files into appropriate directories.

Tests which are not meant to be run by default now live in tests/manual/.
Currently there is one such test, tests/manual/standards/ecma-test262.js,
which downloads and runs the ECMAScript conformance suite.

Ongoing work on issue #12439.
Improvements to logic in FileHandler.translate_path.

We already have 'base_path' as a global variable, so use that (or rather,
a new derivative of that) instead of inspect.getfile(inspect.currentframe()).

Rather than splitting the path and then iterating over every component
trying to figure out if it's "special", take advantage of the fact that
posixpath.normpath() will reliably produce a path with all ../ and bare-/
components at the very beginning.  Preserve the distinction between paths
with and without a trailing /, as SimpleHTTPRequestHandler expects.

So that paths containing unusual (e.g. non-ASCII, non-UTF-8) segments can
safely be tested, unquote and then requote the entire path.  This means
that the *bytes* corresponding to the ASCII characters

  0123456789 ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz -_./

are guaranteed to be unquoted, and all other *bytes* are guaranteed to be
%-quoted.  (Note especially that *whether or not* the tests are being run
on Windows, \ in the original URL will be represented as %5C, and will
*not* be treated as a pathname separator.)

So that the tests behave consistently whether or not the OS has a case-
sensitive filesystem, after the above transformation, lowercase the entire
path.

Ongoing work on issue #12439.
Support Python scripts in test/www/.

Rather than add all the special URLs we'll ever want to run-tests.py,
the embedded HTTP server now supports scripts in test/www/.  If you
try to load http://localhost:9180/path and test/www/path doesn't exist
but test/www/path.py does, then test/www/path.py is loaded as a module.
That module must export one function, handle_request(), which is called
to produce the response.

handle_request() has the same semantics as
SimpleHTTPRequestHandler.send_head().  That is, it takes one argument,
the SimpleHTTPRequestHandler object, conventionally named 'req'.
It should call the send_response(), send_header(), and end_headers()
methods of that object as appropriate.  And it should return a readable
filelike whose contents are taken as the body of the response.

If either module import or handle_request() throws any exception, the
HTTP response will be a 500 Internal Server Error with body provided
by cgitb.

Ongoing work on issue #12439.
Add support for selective test execution.

If there are any positional arguments to test/run-tests.py, they are matched
(verbatim, not as regular expressions) against each test's name.  Only those
tests whose names contain at least one of the positional arguments will be
run.  Thus, for instance, you can run just the webpage tests with

    ./test/run-tests.py module/webpage

or one specific test with

    ./test/run-tests.py exact/name/of/test.js

or the basics and standards tests with

    ./test/run-tests.py basics standards

If no tests at all match, run-tests.py will print "ALL TESTS SKIPPED" and
exit unsuccessfully.

Ongoing work on issue #12439.
Minor test runner clean-up.

Unused imports are removed.
Ensure that the correct reference is used.

Bug fixes to test-server Python response hook support.

* correctly fake a package to hold all the response-hook modules
* use StringIO correctly in the response hooks
* prevent .py(c) files in test/www/ from being accessed directly
* prevent test/www/__init__ from being treated as a response hook
* add a test case that makes sure the existing hooks _can_ return 200 OK

(issue #12439; buggy commit 4d60e94)
Set SO_REUSEADDR on the test server's listening port.

This means you don't have to wait 30 seconds in between invocations of
run-tests.py.

Also, if the test server fails to bind its port, print the actual
OS-level error message rather than guessing what the problem is.
