add acceptance test framework based on node jasmine

[heruka-urgyen]

This is an experiment on solving #1 using node jasmine

TODOs:

• create infrastructure to run tests
• add URL as an argument to npm test (acceptance_test wrapper will pass it)

Prerequisites:

1. Installed Node
2. Installed NPM

How to run:

1. Run npm install to install a local copy of jasmine-node and run tests (which are set up as a post-install script)
2. Consecutive tests can be run with npm test

Tests are located in spec directory. Each filename must end with .spec.js

Pros:

• only one prerequisite
• simple directory structure and minimal setup needed

Cons:

• supports only BDD test style out of the box

Updated description to list all dependencies.
Do you think it might be worth moving node stuff to spec itself as that's the only part node-dependant in this branch?

Did not make a PR for this by mistake! Sorry.
Also I think it is good to links PRs back to issues, so doing it right now #1 :)

Added TODO: how about a URL as parameter (with localhost by default)?
So we ca run it accross different instances\implementation local and remote

[heruka-urgyen]

npm comes together with node, so

Installed NPM

is for free after you installed node.

how about a URL as parameter

I'm not exactly sure how to do it. Perhaps, through an environment variable?

[bzz]

Env var sounds good if there is no other way to pass arguments to
test-runner.
Please feel free to modify ./test_spec I'v updated it with the URL
selection logic
