    This introduces a new TestCase class and a command line tool for easily
    unit testing Review Board extensions.

    The new ExtensionTestCase can be used by extension authors to create
    unit tests that make use of an enabled instance of the extension. This
    makes use of Djblets's new testing support, and also allows for the
    usage of the handy object creation methods we have in Review Board's
    main TestCase class.

    A new rbext test command is now provided, which makes it easy to run
    an extension's test suite. This works similarly to other test runners
    like nosetests, but sets up a suitable Review Board environment in which
    to run the tests.

    To make that work well, and to consolidate code, the main Review Board
    test runner now makes use of Djblets's new TestRunner class. This means
    that both Review Board and any extensions will be running in the same
    kind of environment.

    Documentation has been added describing how to make use of all this to
    write and run test suites.

    Ran the Review Board test suite.

    Updated an extension to use ExtensionTestCase, and then ran the
    test suite using rbext test. I also tried a variety of other
    options (built-in and through nosetests), and tried running
    subsets of tests. All worked.

    Read through the new docs and verified that the formatting and
    linking was all correct.
