SimpleTest: Batch API Screen Improvements [#314401]

This issue has been broken off of: #250047: Rework the SimpleTest results interface and clean-up of backend code.

Visual of changes, by webchick: http://img.skitch.com/20080925-n3cpgfgn6jxaw26qtbupncwa92.png.

I say we stick with the changes implemented and save the others for separate issues. Like the grouping can be solved through drill down stuff, but that is separate patch now. :)

This patch includes white-space fixes to files, as I would like to get those out of way early instead of in all my splits off patches. Only in files it changes though.

A generic 'cancelable' feature for batches would definitely be cool - of course, not all batches should be cancelable.

It is weird to have it scroll like that. There is no visual clue for it and not what I expected -- logs _always_ grow at the bottom.

i like the new results being added to the top. the old style was annoying because unless you kept paging down you'd never see the latest results.

Re-rolled. This is holding up further development.

Committed to CVS HEAD. The red bar in #6 is confusing me big time. The patch actually applies fine. What is wrong with the test infrastructure? How can we get that fixed?
