6a498e5804 Restructure test documentation.
Use separate subsections for our 3 main test suites: 
unit tests, 
tex2lyx (functional) tests, and 
"autotests" (requiring cmake).

badaa2d1b2 Remove local layout from Additional.lyx and Development.lyx. It
was not actually  used in the latter. In the former, convert the
MenuItem insets to Noun.

0ee4dff450 Document updating file format of LyX's files
The advantage of having the author of the file format change update
the files is that the author knows best what to expect in the diff
output.

This was discussed briefly here:

385aed9721 Fix \origin lines
These were fixed manually. I tried to add an option to updatedocs.py to
open and save a file with LyX, but that did not work, since
lyx -x 'command-sequence buffer-write ; lyx-quit' does not write and does
not quit.

13e1c13d2a Document various ways to run the tex2lyx tests
Each way might be preferred by a different developer and the more
ways that can be described of running the tests, the higher the
chance is that developers will find a way that works well for them.

1a4d5b3ce9 Document why tests are enabled for all formats
Explain why the export tests are enabled for formats that are not
expected to work well with certain document classes, modules, or
packages. The reason is that if a .lyx file goes from compiling
successfully for one format (even if that format is not officially
supported for the combination of features used), if that document
suddenly fails to compile, there is a significant chance that a bug
was introduced in LyX. In other words, there is a high signal/noise
ratio. If it is determined that a test is failing because an
expected incompatibility is exposed, then the test can be inverted.

74059f6b56 Document the export tests and other tests
The export tests, check_load tests, and URL tests are now documented
in the Development.lyx file. The export tests are described in
detail, such as how to run them and how to interpret the results.

7c0232e874 Document updating tex2lyx tests when using CMake
Since Kornel's commit at e2d41970, it is now possible to update the
tex2lyx tests with CMake. Note that this is a case where a make
target in the build directory can affect the source directory, which
might not be advisable.

74b538f75d Add a "Development policies" section to dev manual
Writing these policies down makes it easier for newcommers to
understand guidelines and the intuition behind them.

The two policies this commit adds were responses by Georg and Richard
to two threads on the mailing list. The policies are titled
"When to set a fixed milestone" and
"Can we add rc entries in stable branch?".

7bdc34a987 Implement forced local layouts
These should be used if any new style needs to be introduced in the stable
2.1 series: If the ForceLocal flag of the style is set, it will always be
written to the document header, so that even older 2.1 versions can read
and correctly output the document.

1fde43b690 Add development manual.
This is rather incomplete, and will hopefully be extended in the future.
Currently, its main purpose is to document file format updates and tests.
