In order to reuse the test server to the external modules, it is much
easier to share the common configurations (scripts) and test data via
Dockerfile. In addition, the external module can create more layers
depending on their needs. Therefore, supporting multi-stage builds is
needed. The disadvantage is that the docker-compose needs to re-build
the images every time. However, it is just a one-time effort. If the
Dockerfile doesn't get changed, the extra build time can be ignored.
Because of multi-stage builds, the test server will keep a Dockerfile at
least. Therefore, the volume sharing is no more needed. The test data of
a service can be added into the images by using COPY/ADD commands.
NOTE:
This patch relies on docker-compose v1.21.0 (docker-compose build now
supports the use of Dockerfile from outside the build context).

On Windows and macOS, the containers are deployed into a virtual
machine using the host network. All the containers share the same
hostname (qt-test-server), and they are connected to the same network
domain (local).
When running test in such platforms, use the single-name SSL certificate
(qt-test-server.local) for SSL related tests.

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.

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.
