The idea here is to set limits per test how many allocations and maximum
amount of memory it is allowed to use. This is a means to make sure the
number and total size of allocations are kept in check and don't
mistakenly "blow up".
If runtests.pl detects that the given limits have been exceeded it fails
the test case with an error.
The `<verify>` part now supports `<limits>`, and in this section two
limits can be set for each test (verified in debug builds only):
Allocations: [number of allocation calls]
Maximum allocated: [maximum concurrent memory allocated]
Default limits (used if nothing is set in the test file):
Allocations: 1000
Maximum allocated: 1000000

To make it uniform in all tests, and greppability.
Also:
- replace `-k` flag with `-q` in test 1268. (the actual flag doesn't
matter in this test)
- keep `-k` in test 300 to test its short form.
(also verified to fail without a working `-k`)
Closes#16878
This now insists on using a server auth option unless --insecure is
provided. As an added bonus, it now also only checks for the knownhosts
file once (if found).
Ref: #16197Closes#16205
The threee tags `<name>`, `</name>` and `<command>` were frequently used
with a leading space that this removes. The reason this habbit is so
widespread in testcases is probably that they have been copy and pasted.
Hence, fixing them all now might curb this practice from now on.
Closes#12028
