For asynchronous tests, the contract between test file and test runner
is implicit: runners are expected to inspect the source code for
references to a global `$DONE` identifier.

Promote a more explicit contract between test file and test runner by
introducing a new frontmatter "tag", `async`. This brings asynchronous
test configuration in-line with other configuration mechanisms and also
provides a more natural means of test filtering.

The modifications to test files was made programatically using the
`grep` and `sed` utilities:

    $ grep "\$DONE" test/ -r --files-with-match --null | \
        xargs -0 sed -i 's/^\(flags:\s*\)\[/\1[async, /g'
    $ grep "\$DONE" test/ -rl --null | \
        xargs -0 grep -E '^flags:' --files-without-match --null | \
        xargs -0 sed -i 's/^---\*\//flags: [async]\n---*\//'

Adds a `-j`/`--workers-count` parameter to `tools/packaging/test262.py`, defaulting to `[number of cores] - 1`.

Speeds up running the test suite by about ~3x on my 4-core machine, with the SpiderMonkey shell. This could certainly be optimized more by just appending test results to per-thread lists and merging them at the end, but it's better than nothing.

Some tests involving the directive prologue are invalidated by source
text transformations that insert executable code in the beginning of the
script. Implement a `raw` flag that allows these tests to opt-out of
this transformation. Update the relevant tests to use this flag (and
remove references to globals only available when code is injected).

Update the Python runner accordingly:

- Do not run tests marked as "raw" in strict mode
- Reject invalid test configurations

Update the browser runner accordingly:

- Do not modify the script body of tests marked as "raw"

Although test files once expressed dependencies on external files using
a global `$INCLUDE` function, that pattern was removed in favor of
declarative meta-data [1].

Remove the associated logic from the Python runner and the browser.

post-process failure messages to avoid invalid XML characters.

Presumably since Python is whitespace-sensitive, this is actually quite important?

sta.js:
slight change to Test262Error() semantics; message property now always set (default "")
make $ERROR a var
set $ERROR to function $ERROR so it can be overridden if needed
remove 2009 copyright in favor of 2012 copyright
REVERTED: remove never-used fn testFailed
testFailed actually used by $FAIL
remove obsolete fn $INCLUDE

ed.js:
remove commented-out obsolete code

test262.py:
remove always-included harness file that provides no functions used by any extant test
add comment line to nonstrict

cth.js: define `print` for node, cscript

use cth (console test harness) to define functions
for console runner.  V8, Spidermonkey (js) and JavaScriptCore (jsc)
provide a function `print`.  Provide a default `print` for node
and cscript

set print_handle to 'print' by default (can still override)
for cscript: wrap tests in try/catch so we get syntax errors

parseTestRecord: add support for YAML frontmatter
parseTestRecord: initial unit test for test record parser
parseTestRecord: refactor for testing

factor old parsing; add YAML parsing

runner: support "includes" from YAML frontmatter

support frontmatter "includes" in python runner
use test.includes if present instead of scanning test code with regex

harness: factor individual functions out into files

tools: handle YAML errors

tolerate missing keys in dictionary (flags, includes)
report filename when empty frontmatter block
new option --list-includes to test262.py

harness: factor helper functions into separate files

sth: remove extra close-paren (syntax error)

test_common: TDD; failing parse of YAML

common: use parseTestRecord (YAML-aware)

test262.py: only supply async helper scripts when test is async
sth.js: factor out function isAsyncTest()
timer.js: improve workaround for async tests when Promise is defined but setTimeout is noot

timer.js emulates setTimeout using Promise by doing a busy loop that checks
if `timeout` milliseconds have elapsed.  Modified check to (timeLeft > 0) instead
of (!timeLeft) to prevent infinite loop when check does not happen to run
at precise millisecond timeout expires.

Because test262.py did not support the $INCLUDE directive, some helper
scripts were added to every test -- notably testIntl, timer, and donePrintHandle
Now that $INCLUDE is supported, these can be dropped, speeding overall test run time

packager.py cannot run due to syntax errors in a few script files

packagerConfig: use git instead of hg
test262: use pop instead of delete to avoid throw if property missing
S22.1.2.1_T*: fix docString header comment: s/b /**
S22.1.2.1_T3: fix docString header comment: s/b /**, fix end of docstring * / => */

doneprintHandle.js: make $DONE accept any falsy argument as meaning 'pass'
PromiseHelper.js: checkSequence: new helper fn for async tests
.gitignore: port .hgignore to .gitignore syntax
test262.py: support $INCLUDE directive in python test runner

S25.4.4.1*: tests to cover Section 25.4.4.1, Promise.all( iterable )
A1.1: Promise.all is callable
A1.2: Promise.all expects 1 argument
A2.1: Promise.all([]) is a Promise
A2.2: Promise.all([]) is resolved immediately
A2.3: Promise.all([]) is resolved with a new empty array
A3.1: Promise.all expects an iterable argument

- Removed a few old test cases that were redundant with new, more comprehensive ones.
- Added testIntl.js as standard include for all console tests in test262.py – see related bug 574.
- Added .jshintrc file for settings for the JSHint tool.

Added tests for requirements imposed on the built-in objects of the ECMAScript Internationalization API Specification by the introduction of chapter 15 of the ECMAScript Language Specification.
- Removed some old tests that were redundant with the new tests.
- Added testBuiltInObject.js as standard include for all console tests in test262.py – see related bug 574.

Fixed convert.py to convert a "use strict" into an @strict_only

testRunner, test262.py, that can run all the converted tests.

preparation for deriving a test262 command-line runner.
