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.

           because writing todo lists is not fun


    ~ What is MiniTwit?

      A SQLite and Flask powered twitter clone

    ~ How do I use it?

      1. edit the configuration in the minitwit.py file or
         export an MINITWIT_SETTINGS environment variable
         pointing to a configuration file.

      2. fire up a python shell and run this:

         >>> from minitwit import init_db; init_db()

      3. now you can run the minitwit.py file with your
         python interpreter and the application will
         greet you on http://localhost:5000/
	
    ~ Is it tested?

      You betcha.  Run the `minitwit_tests.py` file to
      see the tests pass.
