web: add basic tests

This patch adds a new test module `test_web` to automate testing of web
requests. For now the tests are rather simple and only check for
expected status codes.

To set up the flask app within the tests, it has to be configured
properly. This is the reason why the app configuration part in `web.py`
has been moved into an own function - now it may also be used by the
test module.

Tutorial
========

You want to develop an application with Python and Flask?  Here you have
the chance to learn that by example.  In this tutorial we will create a
simple microblog application.  It only supports one user that can create
text-only entries and there are no feeds or comments, but it still
features everything you need to get started.  We will use Flask and SQLite
as database which comes out of the box with Python, so there is nothing
else you need.

If you want the full sourcecode in advance or for comparison, check out
the `example source`_.
