John Blackbourn 4f8057f7d5 Build/Test Tools: Introduce ms-required and ms-excluded groups for tests.
Tests in the `ms-excluded` group are now excluded when running tests with multisite enabled, and tests in the `ms-required` group are excluded when running tests without multisite enabled. The end result is a significantly reduced number of skipped tests polluting PHPUnit's output, which means verbose mode can be used to more easily see which tests are skipped or incomplete, and why.

See #40531

The short version:

1. Create a clean MySQL database and user.  DO NOT USE AN EXISTING DATABASE or you will lose data, guaranteed.

2. Copy wp-tests-config-sample.php to wp-tests-config.php, edit it and include your database name/user/password.

3. $ svn up

4. Run the tests from the "trunk" directory:
   To execute a particular test:
      $ phpunit tests/phpunit/tests/test_case.php
   To execute all tests:
      $ phpunit

Notes:

Test cases live in the 'tests' subdirectory.  All files in that directory will be included by default.  Extend the WP_UnitTestCase class to ensure your test is run.

phpunit will initialize and install a (more or less) complete running copy of WordPress each time it is run.  This makes it possible to run functional interface and module tests against a fully working database and codebase, as opposed to pure unit tests with mock objects and stubs.  Pure unit tests may be used also, of course.

Changes to the test database will be rolled back as tests are finished, to ensure a clean start next time the tests are run.

phpunit is intended to run at the command line, not via a web server.
