Weston Ruter 78b73c8906 Customizer: Defer embedding widget controls to improve DOM performance and initial load time.
The Menu Customizer feature includes a performance technique whereby the controls for nav menu items are only embedded into the DOM once the containing menu section is expanded. This commit implements the same DOM deferral for widgets but goes a step further than just embedding the controls once the widget area's Customizer section is expanded: it also defers the embedding of the widget control's form until the widget is expanded, at which point the `widget-added` event also fires to allow any additional widget initialization to be done. The deferred DOM embedding can speed up initial load time by 10x or more. This DOM deferral also yields a reduction in overall memory usage in the browser process.

Includes changes to `wp_widget_control()` to facilitate separating out the widget form from the surrounding accordion container; also includes unit tests for this previously-untested function. Also included are initial QUnit tests (finally) for widgets in the Customizer.

Fixes #33901.

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.
