So there are some cases in which it is useful to have multiple tests per
file, distinguished by a query string or fragment. In fact some tests in
the repo (e.g. the html5lib parser tests) already support variations
specified in this way, but we don't include those variations in our
manifest.

Assuming we want to support this somehow, what's people's preferred
mechanism? <meta> elements like:

<meta name=test content="">
<meta name=test content="?variant=1">

An override.manifest file like:

test.html
test.html?variant=1

Something else?
