3f4f900242 reftests: Add a hack to make toplevels work in various WMs
If we have a toplevel, and not a popup window, do wait an additional
0.5s to give the WM/server enough time to actually create the window.

This is a hack and there should be a better solution. But it works.

Please use POPUP windows for tests unless the test must use toplevel
windows.

d0451d6fa4 reftests: Add a --output option to the test runner
This argument specifies where to dump images instead of /tmp. It's not
hooked up to the test runner, so that one will continue to dump into
/tmp.

363dbb6039 reftests: Add
Add a new test runner supposed to do a lot of generic tests. Run it like
this:

./gtk-reftest [OPTIONS] TESTFILE [TESTFILES...]

where FILE is a GtkBuilder ui file to run.

For a general test named "test", you want to have the following files:
1) test.ui
2) test.ref.ui
3) test.css (optional)
The test will then check that test.ui and test.ref.ui are rendered
identically with the provided css.

In detail, for every provided TESTFILE the test runner will:
1) Add the css to the default screen
2) Load the test.ui file and the test.ref.ui file
3) Grab the first GtkWindow subclass widget
4) gtk_widget_show() it and take a snapshot image of its contents into
   a cairo surface.
5) Compare the two images to be bitwise identical. If they are not, a
   diff image will be created hilighting the differences.
6) Save the images as png files to the output directory named:
   - test.out.png (rendering of test.ui)
   - test.ref.png (rendering of test.ref.ui)
   - test.diff.png (optional, differences from step 5)
7) Fail the test if the two images are not bitwise identical
