spalger 88427e9a43 add test sharding
The tests in master are currently failing regularly because our current browser tests are serious memory hogs. Investigation reveals that nearly every test is retaining all of the memory it causes to be allocated. We have made some progress to being able to diagnose the problems, but we expect that problem to take some serious work to fix. We need a short-term solution though, and this is it.

Rather than modify the bundling process, we will shard the top-level test suites by name. For now, we've created 4 shards, but adding new shards is trivial if we need to.

Sharding is accomplished by creating a murmur3 hash of the top level suite names, then bucketing based on the hash output. If a test suite resolves to shard2, but we are running shard1, we simply never pass the function to `mocha.describe()`. Rather than redefine every describe statement, we have shimmed the global `window.describe()` function to accomplish this.

/**
* ------------------------------------------------------------
* CI sharding
* ------------------------------------------------------------
*
* Every test retains nearly all of the memory it causes to be allocated,
* which has started to kill the test browser as the size of the test suite
* increases. This is a deep-rooted problem that will take some serious
* work to fix.
*
* CI sharding is a short-term solution that splits the top-level describe
* calls into different "shards" and instructs karma to only run one shard
* at a time, reloading the browser in between each shard and forcing the
* memory from the previous shard to be released.
*
* ## how
*
* Rather than modify the bundling process to produce multiple testing
* bundles, top-level describe calls are sharded by their first argument,
* the suite name.
*
* The number of shards to create is controlled with the TOTAL_CI_SHARDS
* constant defined at the top of this file.
*
* ## controlling sharding
*
* To control sharding in a specific karma configuration, the total number
* of shards to create (?shards=X), and the current shard number
* (&shard_num=Y), are added to the testing bundle url and read by the
* test_harness/setup_test_sharding[1] module. This allows us to use a
* different number of shards in different scenarios (ie. running
* `npm run test:browser` runs the tests in a single shard, effectively
* disabling sharding)
*
* These same parameters can also be defined in the URL/query string of the
* karma debug page (started when you run `npm run test:dev`).
*
* ## debugging
*
* It is *possible* that some tests will only pass if run after/with certain
* other suites. To debug this, make sure that your tests pass in isolation
* (by clicking the suite name on the karma debug page) and that it runs
* correctly in it's given shard (using the `?shards=X&shard_num=Y` query
* string params on the karma debug page). You can spot the shard number
* a test is running in by searching for the "ready to load tests for shard X"
* log message.
