Synchronizing test with W3C

[fantasai]

The Tools and Automation team is working on setting up automatic
synchronization between the CSSWG test repository and ours. There
will be two folders:
- one for submitted tests, which will be automatically pushed
to Mozilla's directory on the CSSWG hg server
- one for received tests, which will be semi-automatically
pulled from the CSSWG's approved directory on the CSSWG hg
server

(The second step is semi-automatic because we'll need to annotate
the reftest manifests for any new tests to match our current
behavior.)

The question right now is where to put these tests. We can put
them under /layout/reftests/w3c/ or we can put them under
/testing/w3c-tests/css. The former keeps them closer to existing
reftests. The latter lets us put all W3C-synchronized tests near
each other as we add other test suites in the future.

Any comments from the module owners?

I'm nowhere near the module owner, but I'd really like us keep the tests
near most of the existing reftests (i.e., layout/reftests).

But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
that you may be children of your Father in heaven. ... If you love those
who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors
doing that? And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more
than others?" [Matthew 5:43-47]

Agreed. It makes more sense to keep tests near the code the test.
