Final JDK10 Support

This tag is the final revision which can build and test on JDK10 since the next commit introduces a requirement on the JDK11 HTTP client.

Version 2

This release allows for the test harness to run by pointing it at a built kernel, already extracted from a tar file, rather than specifically from a tar file. This means that builds can be reused easier and much more quickly, since now the harness is now extracting the tar contents each time.

Some other minor fixes are included as well.

Version 1

The first cut of the testing harness.

There is still some config setup required to use the harness, but it is pretty minimal as of now. The anticipated core functionality is in place so that others can start writing tests and using the harness.

Proof of Concept 1

The purpose of this proof of concept is to demonstrate the tool's ability to start up a local node, connect it to a network, wait for it to sync up with the network, send some transactions and wait for them to be processed, display some time measurements, and shut down the local node.

This is not a release. The public-facing API is still under development and is highly likely to change.
