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. The metadata that specified the
dependencies of a project modified (previously a text file.) -vladimir.v.diaz

<Purpose>
Simulate an extraneous dependencies attack. The client attempts to download
a file, which lists all the target dependencies, with one legitimate
dependency, and one extraneous dependency. A client should not download a
target dependency even if it is found on the repository. Valid targets are
listed and verified by TUF metadata, such as 'targets.txt'.
There is no difference between 'updates' and 'target' files.
