Martin Vrachev b42ca297e5 Remove PIPE arg and make QuiteHandler the default
Passing a pipe to the subprocess, but not reading from it
conceals helpful error messages.
As the code redirects all of the stderr from the subprocess
to nowhere, the error output of the process is never read.
If we remove the PIPEs from the tests we should see some
error messages on the console/logger that can
help us understand what went wrong.

On another hand, when we stop passing stderr=subprocess.PIPE arg
to the subprocess.Popen function call there are a lot of
HTTP messages together with the helpful error messages.
One decision is to make QuietHTTPRequestHandler
the default. That way we receive the helpful error messages
without the HTTP messages.

April 6, 2014.
Refactored to use the 'unittest' module (test conditions in code, rather
than verifying text output), use pre-generated repository files, and
discontinue use of the old repository tools. Modify the previous scenario
simulated for the mix-and-match attack. -vladimir.v.diaz

<Purpose>
Simulate a mix-and-match attack. In a mix-and-match attack, an attacker is
able to trick clients into using a combination of metadata that never existed
together on the repository at the same time.
Note: There is no difference between 'updates' and 'target' files.
