sanity no longer depends on ui. Instead it has virtual functions for
different kinds of output, and there's a monotone_sanity (what
global_sanity actually is now) that defines these to talk to ui.
(there's also a tester_sanity in tester.cc that does other things with
them.)

I've given the lua extension functions (monotone_*_for_lua) a LUAEXT()
macro, which does more-or-less the same thing as CMD() and AUTOMATE()
do. They can be split up into different files now, and the specific
extensions that need these dependecies (guess_binary, parse_basic_io)
probably don't need to go into a split out tester.

I've undone these.

Some lua extension functions in tester that might be interesting to have
in monotone are:
   set_redirect / clear_redirect
      For use around a spawn(), to redirect the spawned process' I/O
      to files. Could be nice if you want to capture or hide output.
   save_env / restore_env / set_env
      Set environment variables. Again, might be useful around spawn().
   get_ostype
      Returns what get_system_flavor() gives.

Next week: look at tester.lua for things that might be interesting to
put in monotone, and probably finish making a version of tester
available in it's own branch.

of the dependencies in the monotone source tree (in the tester-spinoff
branch).
