In the webkit-meeting discussion about reducing platform-specific tests,
Adam brought up the idea that we could have a file that lists all the tests
that default to dumpAsRenderTree, move the default over to dumpAsText and
then gradually mark tests appropriately as dumpAsRenderTree and remove them
from the list.

We might want to leave some directories as defaulting to dumpAsRenderTree as
they're tests that we imported from elsewhere (e.g. the CSS2.1 tests). We
can annotate the file appropriately listing just the directories. So,
eventually, that file will be a few lines.

I think moving to just having dumpAsText be the default is better than
having per-directory defaults.

How does that sound?
