Attachment: rename reftest's gFilter to gURLFilterRegex

This is just a prepatory patch: since we have two filter modes now, the first one
should be given a more descriptive name

Attachment: add focus filtering mode to reftests

This patch is the important one; it enables us to select whether we are running
reftests that require focus or reftests that don't require focus.

This patch is not particularly significant on its own (though just running tests
that don't need focus might be welcome for developers), but it is a building
block for parallelizing reftests: we can run one job that comprises just the
needs-focus tests, and N jobs for the tests that don't need focus.

This patch (and the previous one) should have the bug number in the first line of the commit message.
