There is no docker bridge on Windows. Docker document recommends using
port mapping to connect to a container. The problem is that it causes a
port conflict if the user is running a service that binds the same port
on the host. This change applies the same solution of macOS to deploy
the docker environment into VirtualBox and use the host network option.

This change frees the tests of their dependence on the Qt internal test
server (qt-test-server.qt-test-net). It makes the developers run the
tests out of Qt testing infrastructure.
If the user has installed Docker engine on their host, the test servers
will be built up inside separate Docker containers, and then, the test
case goes with the Docker-based test servers. Otherwise, the test case
will keep using the Qt internal test server.

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.
