8645d38f41 test suite: allow skipping of expensive tests
Defined a function attribute for KohaTest and subclasses
called 'Expensive'.  When a test method has that attribute,
it is skipped unless the RUN_EXPENSIVE_TESTS environment
variable is true.

To mark a test method, expensive, do this:

sub test_foo : Tests(4) Expensive { ... }

To mark a whole class and its subclasses expensive,
define a SKIP_CLASS sub (with empty body) with the
Expensive attribute:

sub SKIP_CLASS : Expensive { }

Updated the t/Makefile so that 'make test' runs
nonexpensive tests, while 'make fulltest' runs both
cheap and expensive tests.

Marked KohaTest::Installer test class expensive.

aad276c3cd test framework - two improvements
[1] When running the database-dependent tests (cd t, make test),
    all tables in the test database are dropped prior to running
    the installer and test cases.  This means that the test
    database will start with a clean slate.
[2] It is now possible to specify a single test class to run,
    to avoid having to run all of them:

    cd t
    make test TEST_CLASS=Search

    To run all DB-dependent tests, just do the usual

    cd t
    make test

d6f2a2ef9c testing framework: replacing PERL5LIB in order to more conidently find libraries
This patch makes the test suite work even when $PERL5LIB isn't set to the install directory.
It replaces $PERL5LIB with '..' in order to help ensure that we're loading the C4 libraries
out of the installation directory.

80568463ea improvements to automated tests, including a testing database
I'm adding a bunch of additions to the test suite. There is now a test
database that is created, and a test instance of the zebra server and
daemon that are run before the tests in t/database-dependent.pl are
run. This means that you can test things that insert (or destroy)
things in the database.

To use these tests, after you 'make' your koha installation, you can
change to the 't' directory and 'make test' there.

There is now an additional question asked during installation. It asks
whether you would like to run the data-dependent tests. If so, It asks
you for some login information to a test database. I recommend that
you do not not use your production database here. It will delete all
of the data in it.

Things that need improvement:
* I suspect that there are large parts that are not very platform
  independent, so they will need to be improved.
* There are some parts of the installer that will probably be
  refactored to let this work a little bit better, including being run
  directly from a main-level 'make' target at some point.
* Lots more tests to add. Be bold! (see the t/lib directory)
* other tests in t/*.t can possibly benefit from being included in here.

There are two required perl modules for this part of the test suite. I
use:
'Test::Class' => 0.028,
'Test::Class::Load' => 0.02,
They are not listed as requirements in the top-level Makefile.PL
because they're not actually required to install or use Koha, but if
you want to run the test suite, you can install them from CPAN.
