Huge portions of our JSON test format code has been cleaned up and  
reworked in this release.

Several options are now deprecated;

testfile
testdir
tests
tbox

The test options have been ambiguous at best. Now we have two unified  
options for loading or running any test file or test dir.

test
loadtest

Everything the tbox option did can now be covered using functest  
instead of running windmill directly. This method is cleaner and means  
we can live with far less code in windmill.

I'll be writing some documentation to cover migrating existing  
infrastructure to the new system. Huge changes have been made to the  
way json tests can be maintained and collected by windmill using the  
functest framework either embedded in windmill or with functest  
treating windmill as a tool rather than the framework.
