Tests for http://w3c.github.io/webvtt/#file-parsing

Tests that expect an 'error' event (due to invalid signature) are:

./signature-invalid.html
./support/*.vtt

Other tests are generated from source files with a custom format. The source files are:

./support/*.test

.test Format

• The first line is the title of the test.
• Subsequent lines until a blank line contain HTML metadata.
• Subsequent lines until a === line contains JS assertions.
• Finally the WebVTT file. Special characters can be escaped using python3 escape sequences: \x00, \r.
