Reftest manifest width/height conditions for mobile reftests

[Andrew Halberstadt]

In https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=737961 I tracked down
all of the reftests that would need to be fixed if we were to adjust the
default resolution (jmaher and I are thinking about 600x600, though this
isn't set in stone).

At 600x400 there are ~1000 tests that would need to be fixed.
At 600x600 there are ~600 tests.

In the short term, we want to add width/height conditions to the reftest
manifest so tests that require larger resolutions can easily be skipped
on platforms that can't support those resolutions (either because they
physically can't or due to memory constraints).

In the longer term it would be nice to have these 600 tests also running
on mobile platforms. I just don't have time (or understanding of what
the test is for) to go through and fix hundreds of tests.

Anyway, just a heads up that this is the way we're leaning towards. Now
would be a good time for feedback.

I think we need to coordinate with the W3C testing people to come up with a
common cross-browser reftest size before we make a decision here.

I had worked on trying to figure out what the other consumers of
reftests use back in the Spring and I didn't come up with anything
conclusive. I do know we need our height to be <=600. Do we have
real contacts (not newsgroups) of the other consumers so we can get a
decision made faster?

Elika, do you think there's any chance the W3C might want to set the
maximum size of reftests to less than 600x600? If not, then we can change
all our reftests to be 600x600 and we won't have to worry that later the
W3C makes us resize them all again because they're still too big.

No idea. I think there were some side-discussions of what to set it at,
but no conclusions IIRC. I'll ask about it.

I'll make sure we get answers from Apple/Opera/Google/Microsoft through
their CSSWG reps if nothing else.
