In order to resolve the non-ascii characters in path (in user directory,
storage path, etc) on windows, we have converted the path into the
short-path, so that - we don't need to deal with the encoding issues
(specially with Python 2).
We've resolved majority of the issues with this patch.
We still need couple issues to resolve after this in the same area.
TODO
* Add better support for non-ascii characters in the database name on
windows with Python 3
* Improve the messages created after the background processes by
different modules (such as Backup, Restore, Import/Export, etc.),
which does not show short-paths, and xml representable characters for
non-ascii characters, when found in the database objects, and the file
PATH.

Using 'psycopg2.extensions.UNICODE' (for Python < 3) in the psycopg2
driver for proper conversation of unicode characters. Also - adjusted
the string typecaster to take care of different character types (char,
character, text, name, character varying, and their array types).

- 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.

1. Code changes (due to drop objects functionality).
2. Quoting for database names in drop databases.
3. Code changes for import errors for pickle_path and advanced_config variables.
