Tests

The tests script, CommonMark-tests.py, is pretty much a devtool. As well as running all the tests embeded in spec.txt it also allows you to run specific tests using the -t argument, provide information about passed tests with -p, percentage passed by category of test with -s, and enter markdown interactively with -i (In interactive mode end a block by inputing a line with just end, to quit do the same but with quit). -d can be used to print call tracing.
