tests: update tests and implement general state tests (#14734)

Tests are now included as a submodule. This should make updating easier
and removes ~60MB of JSON data from the working copy.

State tests are replaced by General State Tests, which run the same test
with multiple fork configurations.

With the new test runner, consensus tests are run as subtests by walking
json files. Many hex issues have been fixed upstream since the last
update and most custom parsing code is replaced by existing JSON hex
types. Tests can now be marked as 'expected failures', ensuring that
fixes for those tests will trigger an update to test configuration. The
new test runner also supports parallel execution and the -short flag.

-EC2 external inventory script
-=================================
-
-Generates inventory that Ansible can understand by making API request to
-AWS EC2 using the Boto library.
-
-NOTE: This script assumes Ansible is being executed where the environment
-variables needed for Boto have already been set:
-    export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID='AK123'
-    export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY='abc123'
-
-This script also assumes there is an ec2.ini file alongside it.  To specify a
-different path to ec2.ini, define the EC2_INI_PATH environment variable:
-
-    export EC2_INI_PATH=/path/to/my_ec2.ini
-
-If you're using eucalyptus you need to set the above variables and
-you need to define:
-
-    export EC2_URL=http://hostname_of_your_cc:port/services/Eucalyptus
-
-For more details, see: http://docs.pythonboto.org/en/latest/boto_config_tut.html
-
-When run against a specific host, this script returns the following variables:
- - ec2_ami_launch_index
- - ec2_architecture
- - ec2_association
- - ec2_attachTime
- - ec2_attachment
- - ec2_attachmentId
- - ec2_client_token
- - ec2_deleteOnTermination
- - ec2_description
- - ec2_deviceIndex
- - ec2_dns_name
- - ec2_eventsSet
- - ec2_group_name
- - ec2_hypervisor
- - ec2_id
- - ec2_image_id
- - ec2_instanceState
- - ec2_instance_type
- - ec2_ipOwnerId
- - ec2_ip_address
- - ec2_item
- - ec2_kernel
- - ec2_key_name
- - ec2_launch_time
- - ec2_monitored
- - ec2_monitoring
- - ec2_networkInterfaceId
- - ec2_ownerId
- - ec2_persistent
- - ec2_placement
- - ec2_platform
- - ec2_previous_state
- - ec2_private_dns_name
- - ec2_private_ip_address
- - ec2_publicIp
- - ec2_public_dns_name
- - ec2_ramdisk
- - ec2_reason
- - ec2_region
- - ec2_requester_id
- - ec2_root_device_name
- - ec2_root_device_type
- - ec2_security_group_ids
- - ec2_security_group_names
- - ec2_shutdown_state
- - ec2_sourceDestCheck
- - ec2_spot_instance_request_id
- - ec2_state
- - ec2_state_code
- - ec2_state_reason
- - ec2_status
- - ec2_subnet_id
- - ec2_tenancy
- - ec2_virtualization_type
- - ec2_vpc_id
-
-These variables are pulled out of a boto.ec2.instance object. There is a lack of
-consistency with variable spellings (camelCase and underscores) since this
-just loops through all variables the object exposes. It is preferred to use the
-ones with underscores when multiple exist.
-
-In addition, if an instance has AWS Tags associated with it, each tag is a new
-variable named:
- - ec2_tag_[Key] = [Value]
-
-Security groups are comma-separated in 'ec2_security_group_ids' and
-'ec2_security_group_names'.
