Integration testing flows

I'm actively working on some custom post-authentication flows and the
approach I've taken is to model after idp-conf. The AbstractFlowTest class
allows you to do much of what the Spring-provided
AbstractXmlFlowExecutionTests can do. The aspect I have found most helpful
is that idp-conf supports loading resources from the classpath for testing
and loading from the filesystem under %{idp.home} at runtime, so one layout
works for both contexts.

AbstractFlowTest can do everything above exception manually setting a
starting state; for that you'll have to extend along the lines of the
Spring-provided class. I did a little bit of that for my needs and it
wasn't too difficult.
