Re: [Testing] Alternative approach to the test manifest structure

I got the fix for this done this morning and checked in.  Benjamin reviewed
it and it has been merged into WPT.  It is deployed on testdev.spec-ops.io.
I have a more complex example that I am going to push into that tree so we
can talk about it in the meeting tomorrow.
