Until now, MultiTestDB would prefix the names of test databases it
creates with the local user name as determined by looking at the
environment variables: LOGNAME and USER, in the order as written here.
There are the following problems with this approach:
 - it leaks local user names to the database system and by extension to
   everyone who can access them,
 - in the event of said local user names being different from farm ones
   it makes it more difficult to identify to whom a specific database
   belongs.
To address these issues the present commit introduces a new environment
variable called ENSEMBL_TESTDB_PREFIX which when defined takes
precedence over LOGNAME. Now anyone running tests on their local machine
can set that variable to their farm user name.

[ENSCORESW-2576] Allow MultiTestDB to report failings on missing adaptors required by tests. Previously failing to load the adaptor and swallowing the real error.

This reverts commit 520dadd1.

MultiTestDB: allow for driver-specific, table-specific SQL to be run before and after load_txt_dump().

From files <dump_dir>/<driver>/<table>.{pre,post}.

Adding the NO_SQL_SCHEMA_VERSION_CHECK flag if the dbtype was hive
to stop the DBAdaptor from trying to patch a schema which does not
exist yet. Required for pipeline integration tests

Adding "The table " to the beginning of the note lines. Ensures the test runner understands what has been hidden

too many problems with hfs+ case insenstive nature. allowing test-Genome-DBs as a valid directory name

Somehow this got the wrong path. Seriously! Brought in some very very very wrong config in some environments. Doing a rel2abs solves the issue AFAIK

Adding the clone core DB code and associated patching of test databases and redumping into the existing directory structure

Allowing config to be read from the class rather than an instance. Very important if someone needs to introspect the config

Supporting multiple DB types and species. Also supporting an external module/test using this module to generate schemas and naems

Hacked version of the test db loader to bring in user specified database with the intention of being patched.

ENSCORESW-150. Test suite refactored to remove existing and confusing code. DB cleanup also works better and we are now better intergrated into the Perl test harness libraries (with support for diag and note).
