1616961 - Remove the root reftest / crashtest manifests

Status: NEW

(Testing :: Reftest, task, P2)

Description

[Andrew Halberstadt [:ahal]]

In addition to making reftest more consistent with our other harnesses, this will make it easier for us to schedule specific reftest manifests in our scheduling algorithms.

I got decently far here and have some patches to upload. However thinking about it, this doesn't technically block my work in bug 1608836 and is ending up being a little more difficult than I anticipated (we'll need changes to how the build system handles test packaging as well as to the reftest mach command).

So there's a good chance I end up dropping this. Though I'll keep it assigned to myself for now and see how things shake out.

I am not sure this is important, now that we have manifest scheduling on try, it does depend a bit on the root manifest to cross reference data between skip-if(...) include <path>, so we can remove things properly as well as not double run things when using include <path>
