[PATCH wayland-web] testing: Document how to run an individual test

Had to figure this all out for something else, so figured I'd document
it.  Eventually we may have so many tests that running one in isolation
will be handy.

+<h3>Running Individual Tests</h3>
+<p>
+The <code>check</code> target essentially executes all tests registered
+in the <code>TESTS</code> variable in Makefile.am.  Files with
+a <code>.test</code> extension are run directly, e.g.:</p>
+
+<pre>
+$ ./vertex-clip.test
+test "float_difference_same":exit status 0, pass.
+...
+16 tests, 16 pass, 0 skip, 0 fail
+</pre>
+
+<p>Tests suffixed with <code>.la</code> and <code>.weston</code> are run
+using the <code>tests/weston-tests-env</code> shell script, which you can
+use to run individual tests, thusly:</p>
+<pre>
+$ abs_builddir=$PWD tests/weston-tests-env  button.weston
+</pre>
+
+<h3>Test Results</h3>
+<p>
+The <code>*.test</code> tests output their results to stdout.  The other
+tests write into a logs/ subdirectory and generate one log for the
+server and another for the test itself.
+</p>
+<p>
+Example output:
+</p>
+<pre>
+test-client: got global pointer 100 100
+test-client: got keyboard keymap
+test-client: got surface enter output 0x202d600
+test-client: got keyboard modifiers 0 0 0 0
+test-client: got pointer enter 0 0, surface 0x202d500
+test-client: got pointer motion 50 50
+test-client: got global pointer 150 150
+test-client: got pointer button 272 1
+test-client: got pointer button 272 0
+test "simple_button_test":exit status 0, pass.
+1 tests, 1 pass, 0 skip, 0 fail
+</pre>
