Many soyuz tests should not depend on librarian data

[Julian Edwards]

A lot of tests depend on librarian data, in particular there are some that use or join through packageupload records and require the changesfile text to be present in the librarian.

The code currently uses a utility function, insertFakeChangesFile, to mask this problem.

The correct solution is to not depend so much on the sample data and use the Soyuz Test Publisher instead which will generate the right data.

How can we tell if this has been done?

[Julian Edwards (julian-edwards)]

With difficulty, but the errant tests need to be enumerated here. I want to work through them at some point anyway and fix a load of the soyuz (uploader) tests to a) not need sample data, b) not upload a whole package just to test one tiny part of the uploader. This should speed up the tests a *lot*.
