- don't spin up app and chromedriver between each test
- catching signals also tears down the app
- do layout reset between tests, but assume that tests will not leave a modal opened.
Use selenium built-in waiting function and fix flakiness around clicking the alertify OK button
- we think the OK button does not have its event bound when it is created.
If you see more flakiness around clicking the alertify OK button, let us know. The element is clickable but we have to arbitrarily wait for the event to be bound and that timing may vary system to system.
The feature tests are about 7 seconds faster now.

To chase down a set of tests that were failing together, we wanted to run
deeper trees of tests. We changed the behavior of the --pkg argument to
runtests.py so it runs tests under a package and its subpackages, instead
of for a single node.
It gave us more flexibility in what tests to run. This also includes the
--exclude option.
To run tests for a single node, ".tests" can be appended to the package path.
