Removed references to the previous file format, added some tests about

the new format but there's still much more to be said and done

-    nameN.txt: test description as displayed when run
-
-    commandN.txt: command line options for this test
-
-    protN.txt: the full dump of the protocol communication that curl is
-               expected to use when performing this test
-
-    replyN.txt: the full dump the server should reply to curl for this test.
-               If the final result that curl should've got is not in this
-               file, you can instead name the file replyN0001.txt. This
-               enables you to fiddle more. ;-) Alas, the server sends the
-               replyN.txt file but checks the result after the test against
-               the *0001.txt file.
-
-    stdoutN.txt: if this file is present, curl's stdout is compared against
-               this file to see that they're identical. If this is present,
-               curl will not be run with -o but instead all output is compared
-               against this file!
-
-    errorN.txt: if this file is present, it should contain the error number
-               curl is supposed to return when this test is run.
-
-    uploadN.txt: if this file is present, it should contain the same data as
-               the log/upload.N does, after a curl upload has been performed.
-
-    ftpdN.txt: this file may contain instructions how to modify the behaviour
-               of the ftp server. It uses a simple syntax that is left to
