New tests submitted by Microsoft for WebApps specs

Today we shipped Microsoft Internet Explorer 10 Platform Preview 3 as part of
the Windows 8 Developer Preview. Alongside this release, we have submitted
interop tests for several WebApps specs for review by the working group:

WebSockets API (101 tests/assertions)
  Changeset: http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webapps/rev/6712344ae119
  Tests: http://w3c-test.org/webapps/WebSockets/tests/submissions/Microsoft/

Indexed DB (87 tests/assertions)
  Changeset: http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webapps/rev/62fbeaa2ed43
  Tests: http://w3c-test.org/webapps/IndexedDB/tests/submissions/Microsoft/ 

WebWorkers (51 tests/assertions)
  Changeset: http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webapps/rev/7b0ba70f69b6
  Tests: http://w3c-test.org/webapps/Workers/tests/submissions/Microsoft/

Notes:

* The tests all use the common test harness developed initially in the HTML
  WG and adopted by the WebApps WG in the test submission guidelines.

* Since these are the first submitted tests for each of these specs, we created
  new folders for them in the webapps folder.

* We believe the tests are all accurate but look forward to wider review from
  the group. IE10 PP3 does not pass all the tests and we are working to fix
  the bugs that cause failures.

* The Indexed DB tests include code to work around the current vendor
  prefixing. At some point we will need to remove this code from the official
  test suite but it makes running the tests simpler for now.

* The WebSockets API tests require a running service. We are currently hosting
  the service on a Microsoft server (html5labs-interop.cloudapp.net). We are
  committed to working with the W3C systems team and this working group to host
  the service at the W3C when this is possible.
