Basically, this creates a screenshot and throws tesseract at it to
recognize the characters from the screenshot. In order to produce a
result that is well enough, we're using lanczos scaling and scale the
image up to 400% of its original size.
This provides the base functionality for a new Machine method which will
be called waitForText. I originally had that idea long ago when writing
the VM tests for VirtualBox and Chromium, but thought it would be
disproportionate to the case.
The downside however is that VM tests now depend on tesseract, but given
the average runtime of our tests it really shouldn't have a too big
impact and it's only a runtime dependency after all.
Another issue is that the OCR process takes quite some time to finish,
but IMHO it's better (as in more deterministic) than to rely on sleep().

The current way test reports get jquery,
src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js"
only works when getting reports over http:// or https://, not file://.
Change it so that it works for all protocols by using a local copy of
jquery.
This fixes the issue where locally created and browsed test reports
cannot be navigated properly; clicking the '+' symbol to expand
sub-sections doesn't work.
This reverts commit 4e6eae45ee. It
breaks running the test driver interactively (in that it causes all
VMs to be started immediately, which is not always what you wnat).
