[webkit-dev] Renaming directories

[Eric Seidel]

Chromium already has a ton of architecture for automated runs of the
PLT which I'm sure they'd be happy to share.  (e.g.
http://build.chromium.org/f/chromium/perf/dashboard/overview.html)
The problem remains that (aside from the SVG PLT no one uses) we have
no publicly available PLT content. :)

Better organization needed. Need to replace old driver with new driver for non-Chromium platforms. Our #1 most critical tests. Includes copies of some entire test suites, such as ietestcenter and CSS 2.1 and sputnik.
