This addresses two sources of inconsistency in test configuration
files.
1. Substitution boundaries. Previously you would specify a
substitution, such as 'lli', and then additionally a set
of characters that should fail to match before and after
the tool. This was used, for example, so that matches that
are parts of full paths would not be replaced. But not all
tools did this, and those that did would often re-invent
the set of characters themselves, leading to inconsistency.
Now, every tool substitution defaults to using a sane set
of reasonable defaults and you have to explicitly opt out
of it. This actually fixed a few latent bugs that were
never being surfaced, but only on accident.
2. There was no standard way for the system to decide how to
locate a tool. Sometimes you have an explicit path, sometimes
we would search for it and build up a path ourselves, and
sometimes we would build up a full command line. Furthermore,
there was no standardized way to handle missing tools. Do we
warn, fail, ignore, etc? All of this is now encapsulated in
the ToolSubst class. You either specify an exact command to
run, or an instance of FindTool('<tool-name>') and everything
else just works. Furthermore, you can specify an action to
take if the tool cannot be resolved.

Benchmarking
In order to make sure various developers can evaluate patches over the same tests, we create a collection of self contained programs.
