            Bug ID: 203783
           Summary: Stop parsing retest.list and get WPT ref matches from
                    test metadata
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tools / Tests
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: simon.fraser at apple.com

Code in _parse_reftest_list() in port/base.py (very odd that this is in port!) parses reftest.list files when those exist, and uses that to decide what reference to use for a test.

reftest.list seems to be a vestige of Mozilla-imported tests (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/QA/web-platform-tests#Metadata). WPT doesn't use these lists any more and instead uses <link rel="match"> from the tests themselves.

In addition, when we import WPT I think we have to clone a bunch of shared references into lots of identical -expected.html, which we would not if we respected <link rel="match">
