Series tests: run non-httpd-specific tests before sourcing 'lib-httpd.sh' | expand

Commit Message

We have a couple of test scripts that are not completely
httpd-specific, but do run a few httpd-specific tests at the end.
These test scripts source 'lib-httpd.sh' somewhere mid-script, which
then skips all the rest of the test script if the dependencies for
running httpd tests are not fulfilled.

As the previous two patches in this series show, already on two
occasions non-httpd-specific tests were appended at the end of such
test scripts, and, consequently, they were skipped as well when httpd
tests couldn't be run.

Add a comment at the end of these test scripts to warn against adding
non-httpd-specific tests at the end, in the hope that they will help
prevent similar issues in the future.

This subject line kind of sucks, doesn't it?!

Alas I had a bit of a hard time coming up with something better.  So
far the best (well, least bad) I could think of is:

  t: warn against adding non-httpd-specific tests after sourcing 'lib-httpd'

That reads well.

Thanks.  It must have been tedious to make sure moving tests around
won't break them due to some (hidden) inter-dependency among them.
Very much appreciated.

Ok.  Should I resend, or will you amend? (I see that 'pu' contains the
old subject line).

Luckily, all the moved non-httpd tests and all the httpd tests in
't5510' and 't5703' work in their own directories, meaning that they
neither influence other tests nor are influenced by other tests, with
the exception of that $LOCAL_PRISTINE directory that I noted in the
commit message of patch 2.

I did actually diff-ed the output of the involved tests before and
after these patches, and they were essentially identical (the only
differences were that extra 'rm -rf', a couple of different
timestamps, different commit oids shown by 'git commit' or 'git
fetch', and the occasional races between the trace output and actual
command output).

I do not think the original was too bad, either, but I'll amend;
thanks for being extra careful.
