issue2551334 - get test suite running under windows
Fix test_cgi under windows. Few classes of errors:
1) comparing paths with a/b (unix) to a\b (windows). Use normpath to
fix it. Also change regexps used for path matching to use either
\ or / for directory separators.
2) database not being closed preventing deletion of test case
directory. Windows doesn't allow deletion of open files.
In some cases replaced calling client.inner_mail() with main()
because main() makes sure to close the database. In other cases
assigned self.db = client.db beacuse client reopens the database
and closes the original self.db. Reassigning allows tearDown to
close the last opened handle to a db.
3) commit the admin password to the database. If it's not commited
calling the code sometimes comes up with a different admin
password. Not sure why we don't see this on linux.
4) run commit() on database so that sqlite databases can be closed
and deleted. Unit tests don't call the main entry points that
have finally clauses to close the databases properly, so do it in
the test.
5) split tests that try to resolve symbolic links in the template
directory to a separate method. Under windows user needs special
permissions to creae symbolic links, so I report the method is
skipped if creating a link fails.
