Add (lots) of documentation for various parts of the test suite in the
form of Python docstrings. Also, clean up some of the redundant code and
fix indentation issues.
The server_conf hook and the server_sett() methods were no longer
required. The server configuration is currently being done by
server_conf() method in the server.
Some command line switches are passed to Wget unconditionally. These
switches should exist in a single place instead of being redundantly
defined in each test file. We add the following two switches by default
here:
1. --debug: This causes wget to be most verbose and output a lot of
debugging information. Hence, if a test fails, the test log should
provide valuable information.
2. --no-config: Users may have their own wgetrc files on the system.
However, for the tests, we want Wget to run with vanilla settings.
Hence, disbale loading any config files.

dccc154 Introducing Python based Test Environment
Files that were refactored are WgetTest.py, some conf
scripts and some test case file. The purpose of the
refactoring of the test cases classes is to provide
a better interface for the incoming FTP test
counterpart.
This commit adds support for a new Environment Variable, SERVER_WAIT
which if set will cause the script to sleep for SERVER_WAIT seconds
before calling the wget executable. During this period, the custom
HTTP/HTTPS/FTP servers are all set up and running and can be used
for any other purposes. This feature is often used when a separate
executable must be used for testing apart from the one at src/wget
This commit adds a new configure option, --enable-race-checking
which is to be used exclusively for debugging. Also, conditionally
add tests to XFAIL_TESTS when Race Checking is enabled.
This eliminated the use of Global Variables from the HTTPServer module
and uses the more correct threading.Threads module to spawn a new
server. However, on multi-core systems, the performance may deteriorate
when too many servers are launched due to CPython implementation of GIL.
Many artefacts from the old model still remain, sometimes as commenst,
else as executable code. These will be cleaned up soon
