Create a batch-importer version of the 'roles' test procedure

[Nicklas Nordborg]

The 'roles' test program is already

1. A manual test procedure to test the web client
2. A programmed test procedure to test the core and permission system

It could be useful to extend the test procedure to use the various batch importers instead of using hard-coded values in the test program code. Some parts doesn't have batch importers. It would be preferable if the new variant could re-use the existing code for creating user, groups, projects, software, hardware, protocols, etc.

Batch importers to test: biosource, sample, extract, labeled extract, array design, array batch, array slide, hybridization, scan, raw bioassay and raw data.

(In [4625]) References #1151 Created new classes which do the power user-role test and user-role test with batch importers. The new functionallity is not tested yet.

[Martin Svensson]

(In [4628]) References #1151 Refactored to better use the existing code in the roles test. There is a risk the changes can effect the existing test program, this is not yet checked.

[Martin Svensson]

(In [4633]) Fixes #1151 User role-test can now test batch importers. Documentation is updated(still in old format). Also updated build.xml to copy the test/role-directory when creating dist, links from wiki will work after next release.

(In [4640]) References #1151: Create a batch-importer version of the 'roles' test procedure

Remove unused import.

(In [4655]) References #1145 and #1151.

Added instructions in the documentation for using the batch importer as an alternative to manual import for each raw data set.

The 'rawbioassay_out.txt' file is missing in the repository. Running the 'roles' test program reports:

...
--Uploading file: /batchimport/rawbioassay_out.txt
--NOT FOUND - skipping upload
...

and later fails with:

--Executing job: Batch import of raw bioassays to Project A
