testkjs should made long-running to speed up run-javascriptcore-tests

DumpRenderTree has a "long running" option, where it will stay launched and sit
and wait for new data to come in and run it.  testkjs could benefit from such
as well.  I expect it would *drastically* reduce how long it takes to run
run-javascriptcore-tests (which is currently a ridiculously long time).

testkjs would need to make a new global object for each test, but would want to
keep around certain files in memory (the shell files) and just run those before
any test it's given.  A simple LRU cache of recently read-from-disk js files
would probably do the trick.
