To resolve the challenge of connecting Docker containers from the host
without extra user-efforts, Avahi is used to publish the Docker-based
test servers (Docker containers) on a local network. It is a free
Zeroconf implementation, and it provides multicast DNS (mDNS) service
discovery. By default, mDNS only resolves hostname ending with the
".local" domain. In this change, the domain name of test servers is
changed to "test-net.qt.local". As stated in the standard, the DNS query
for a local domain will be sent to the mDNS multicast address. It avoids
the need for root access to modify system files.

The existing network test server has some limitations. Most notably, it
is not accessible by every Qt developer. Also, some services don't allow
simultaneous access, which causes flaky test results.
Instead of centralizing all the services to one physical machine, the
idea is to build up several dedicated servers inside separate Docker
containers.
1. Create testserver.pri and integrate it into the make check command of
Qt Test.
2. Define QT_TEST_SERVER flag for changing test parameters at compile
time.
