Writing Layout Tests to test iOS UI features

@@ +1 @@
+= Summary =
+
+It's now possible to write layout tests that exercise code in the UI process in iOS WebKit2. This allows testing of things like tapping, zooming, keyboard interaction, selection, text input etc.
+
+This is done by running JavaScript in an isolated JS context in the UI process form a test. That JavaScript has access to a UIScriptController, which has properties that expose information about the state of the UI process,. and functions to make things happen, including event synthesis.
+
+The UI script itself runs asynchronously, and many of the UIScriptController functions are asynchronous. Callbacks are used to tell the test when something completes.
