Sergey Biryukov 31a6cd2f78 Build/Test Tools: Change the inheritance order of the abstract test classes.
As things were, the inheritance order of the abstract test classes was as follows:
{{{
WP_UnitTestCase (PHPUnit adapter layer)
    extends WP_UnitTestCase_Base (base test class)
        extends PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase (PHPUnit native class)
}}}

Concrete (child) test classes, as well as more specific abstract TestCases, are/were expected to extend the `WP_UnitTestCase`.

This order is not optimal as it means that the `WP_UnitTestCase_Base` class would not be able to benefit from any polyfills and/or shims in the PHPUnit adapter layer.

With that in mind, this commit changes the inheritance to:
{{{
WP_UnitTestCase (empty class, left in place to not break BC for plugin/theme integration tests)
    extends WP_UnitTestCase_Base (base test class)
        extends PHPUnit_Adapter_TestCase (PHPUnit adapter layer)
            extends PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase (PHPUnit native class)
}}}

The new order allows for the `WP_UnitTestCase_Base` to also benefit from the PHPUnit adapter layer.

For backward compatibility reasons the `WP_UnitTestCase`, which all test classes are (were) expected to extend, is left in place, though it is now an empty class and explicitly `abstract`.

Follow-up to [51559], [51560].

The short version:

1. Create a clean MySQL database and user.  DO NOT USE AN EXISTING DATABASE or you will lose data, guaranteed.

2. Copy wp-tests-config-sample.php to wp-tests-config.php, edit it and include your database name/user/password.

3. $ svn up

4. Run the tests from the "trunk" directory:
   To execute a particular test:
      $ phpunit tests/phpunit/tests/test_case.php
   To execute all tests:
      $ phpunit

Notes:

Test cases live in the 'tests' subdirectory.  All files in that directory will be included by default.  Extend the WP_UnitTestCase class to ensure your test is run.

phpunit will initialize and install a (more or less) complete running copy of WordPress each time it is run.  This makes it possible to run functional interface and module tests against a fully working database and codebase, as opposed to pure unit tests with mock objects and stubs.  Pure unit tests may be used also, of course.

Changes to the test database will be rolled back as tests are finished, to ensure a clean start next time the tests are run.

phpunit is intended to run at the command line, not via a web server.
