Bernie Reiter f4fa4dd1ba HTML-API: Introduce minimal HTML Processor.
This patch introduces the //first// of //many// iterations on the evolution of the HTML API, the HTML Processor, which is built in order to understand HTML structure including nesting, misnesting, and complicated semantic rules.

In the first iteration, the HTML Processor is arbitrarily limited to a minimal subset of functionality so that we can review it, ship it, test it, and collect feedback before moving forward. This means that this patch is more or less an extension to the Tag Processor query language, providing the ability not only to scan for a tag of a given name, but also to find an HTML element in a specific nesting path.

The HTML Processor also aborts any time it encounters:
 - a tag that isn't a `P`, `DIV`, `FIGURE`, `FIGCAPTION`, `IMG`, `STRONG`, `B`, `EM`, `I`, `A`, `BIG`, `CODE`, `FONT`, `SMALL`, `STRIKE`, `TT`, or `U` tag. this limit exists because many HTML elements require specific rules and we are trying to limit the number of rules introduced at once. this work is targeted at existing work in places like the image block.
 - certain misnesting constructs that evoke complicated resolution inside the HTML spec. where possible and where simple to do reliably, certain parse errors are handled. in most cases the HTML Processor aborts.

The structure of the HTML Processor is established in this patch. Further spec-compliance comes through filling out //more of the same// kind and nature of code as is found in this patch. Certain critical HTML algorithms are partially supported, and where support requires more than is present, the HTML Processor acknowledges this and refuses to operate.

In this patch are explorations for how to verify that new HTML support is fully added (instead of allowing for partial updates that leave some code paths non-compliant). Performance is hard to measure since support is so limited at the current time, but it should generally follow the performance of the Tag Processor somewhat close as the overhead is minimized as much as practical.

Props dmsnell, zieladam, costdev.
Fixes #58517.

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.
