Neil Roberts 21117bb7a9 test-conform-common: Disconnect all paint handlers on the stage
A few of the tests connected to the paint signal but never
disconnected it. Most of these handlers had a call to g_main_quit in
them which meant that it could sometimes cause subsequent tests to
exit after the first frame is painted. Most of the tests don't
validate any of the results until after a couple of frames have been
rendered so this ended up skipping out the test entirely.

To workaround this the test setup function now disconnects all
handlers for the paint signal on the default stage before the test is
run.

Outline of test categories:

The conform/ tests should be non-interactive unit-tests that verify a single
feature is behaving as documented. See conform/ADDING_NEW_TESTS for more
details.

The micro-bench/ tests should be focused perfomance test, ideally testing a
single metric. Please never forget that these tests are synthetec and if you
are using them then you understand what metric is being tested. They probably
don't reflect any real world application loads and the intention is that you
use these tests once you have already determined the crux of your problem and
need focused feedback that your changes are indeed improving matters. There is
no exit status requirements for these tests, but they should give clear
feedback as to their performance. If the framerate is the feedback metric, then
the test should forcibly enable FPS debugging.

The interactive/ tests are any tests whose status can not be determined without
a user looking at some visual output, or providing some manual input etc. This
covers most of the original Clutter tests. Ideally some of these tests will be
migrated into the conformance/ directory so they can be used in automated
nightly tests.

The data/ directory contains optional data (like images and ClutterScript
definitions) that can be referenced by a test.

Other notes:

• All tests should ideally include a detailed description in the source
explaining exactly what the test is for, how the test was designed to work,
and possibly a rationale for the approach taken for testing.

• When running tests under Valgrind, you should follow the instructions
available here:

        http://live.gnome.org/Valgrind

and also use the suppression file available inside the data/ directory.
