Testing the API server

[Jesse Meek]

Hi List,

The API server client tests have a new suite, serverSuite, which allow 
you to test the api server methods without having to go through the api 
client.

This is how to use it:

// old way

func (s *clientSuite) TestSomething(c *gc.C) {
...
// calls via api/client
err := s.APIState.Client().EnvironmentSet(args)
...
}

// new way

func (s *serverSuite) TestSomething(c *gc.C) {
...
// does not touch api/client
err := s.client.EnvironmentSet(args)
...
}

I also added PatchClientFacadeCall to api/export_test.go which allows 
client side testing without touching the API server: 
https://github.com/juju/juju/blob/master/api/export_test.go (see 
TestShareEnvironmentExistingUser for an example)

Andrew just landed PatchFacadeCaller: 
https://github.com/juju/juju/blob/master/api/base/testing/patch.go. 
<https://github.com/juju/juju/blob/master/api/base/testing/patch.go> 
Which is a generic Facade patcher that requires setup in export_test.go 
to get access to the private facade instance (see provisioner tests for 
an example). PatchClientFacadeCall can be used now, but I will be 
refactoring it soon to leverage PatchFacadeCaller so we have a 
consistent approach across the codebase.

Cheers,
Jess
