Subject: [PATCH 03/13] Next step: passing actual state events from Space Core

Includes Mid-test enhancements to be able to check for expected exceptions. Also, enhancements to work with multiple users in a single mid-test with a minimum of boilerplate.

Disabled the functional tests, which are nothing but in the way these days.

Subject: [PATCH 06/13] Checkpoint: actually make use of SpaceEvolution

Everything in OldUserSpaceSession is in a pretty horrible state right now. But it does compile and unit-test.

Note that I have intentionally introduced QI.bu6of5m, because the mechanism around Display Names is so very broken right now.

Subject: [PATCH 07/13] Checkpoint: start more-sophisticated state evolution

This is nowhere *near* well-enough tested yet, mind. We need to confirm that we are actually using the intelligent evolution code, that it's reliably doing the right things, and that all of the TODO edge cases are handled. But it passes the existing tests, and at least hypothetically should be far more efficient.

Subject: [PATCH 08/13] Checkpoint: user-session Space evolution is starting to
 work

Tweaks to get this actually functioning as expected. (Most importantly, actually passing the events along.)

Introduced some test mechanisms for checking whether we are actually evolving efficiently or filtering the whole thing, but those don't work yet: the current machinery winds up doing that asynchronously, so we can't test it deterministically. Need to rewrite so that this is properly deterministic. (And more efficient.)

Upgraded to newer versions of Play, ScalaTest+Play and Akka, so that I could get ScalaTest 3.0.0 and the Position mechanism, which allows me to use higher-level test functions that report line numbers of errors correctly.

Subject: [PATCH 09/13] Checkpoint: evolution starting to work nicely

At this point, we are now able to unit-test whether an action requires a full filtering or works with an efficient evolution, and the few tests we're doing so far work properly. Still needs some adjustment, but it's looking pretty good.

Note the change in design here: we are back to doing all of the evolution at pull time, not at push time. This should be yet more efficient, and is much more deterministic for unit testing. (Slightly worse in terms of latency, but no worse than what we had before, and often far better.)

Subject: [PATCH 11/13] QI.bu6of67: Make view evolution cope correctly with
 Role assignments

Includes a full unit test; this one was done with TDD. (Yay for the Mid-Test Harness!)

Added Mid-test functions to create and grant Roles.

Fixed login function to cache the user's login results, and added a function to fetch the OID for a user.

Added Mid-test machinery to set a Property to a List of values, not just one.

Enhanced getPropertyValues() to support Link values.
