Sergey Biryukov 3bebac5ea4 Build/Test Tools: Add support for WP_Error in the test suite's wp_die() handlers.
This brings parity with WordPress core `wp_die()` handlers and ensures that if a `WP_Error` object is passed as the `$message` argument to `wp_die()`, the PHPUnit test suite displays the error message correctly.

Previously, this would cause a silent fatal error: `Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string`, leading to just displaying `wp_die called` without any further details.

Follow-up to [28797], [41966], [44666], [45160], [47882].

See #55652.

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.
