[webkit-dev] Dead code in webkitpy runtests.py

[Alexey Proskuryakov]

I think that we would still like to have a unified way to run tests. Right now, even knowing whether a particular script or build step is covered by tests is not straightforward.

At the same time, I think that the tiny subset of tests that webkit-patch used to run wasn't meaningful. Specifically, those were bindings tests and JSC API tests. These make even less sense in the EWS context, as the results were ignored if I remember correctly.
