Item11332: Make it easier for tests to expect_failure(using => 'something', with_dep => 'Foswiki,<,1.1')=

Motivation:

• Some tests aren't applicable, or aren't supported under some Foswiki configurations.
• It is highly desirable to get UnitTestContrib released for use against real, production installations of Foswiki.

Counter-motivation:

• Maybe this is just too hard unless we switch to a more mainstream test framework which supports more flexible test plan generation

I really want to do things like

$this->expect_failure_using('MongoDBPlugin')

or

$this->expect_failure_using('ShortURLs')

etc.

It would also be nice to require a particular version of Foswiki. On a couple of the tests that need different conditions on 1.2 vs. 1.1.x, I've added the following:

    my $dep = new Foswiki::Configure::Dependency(
            type    => "perl",
            module  => "Foswiki",
            version => ">=1.2"
           );
    ( $post11, my $message ) = $dep->check();

Test code can test if $post11 is true. Integrating this into something like:

  $this->expect_failure_dependingon('Foswiki', '>=', 1.2);

With the current code, this can be written as

$this->expect_failure(with_dep => 'Foswiki,>=,1.2');

This is done now.

Also changed the test summary - with MongoDBPlugin enabled, I was getting 14459 lines of full backtrace detail, whereas now I've only got 260 lines summarising 220 tests that failed

Re-opened to fix incorrect Foswiki::Configure::Dependency - really stumps me how this ever worked in the first place.
