[webkit-dev] Update: new-run-webkit-tests migration

[Eric Seidel]

new-run-webkit-tests --child-processes=1
Will run all tests in the main thread with a single DRT process.

One of the things I would like to fix before foisting
new-run-webkit-tests onto everyone is to make the --help much clearer.
:)
