<Started>

April 3, 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. Minor edits to the test cases.

<Purpose>
Simulate an endless data attack, where an updater client tries to download a
target file modified by an attacker to contain a large amount of data (a TUF
client should only download up to the file's expected length). TUF and
non-TUF client scenarios are tested.
There is no difference between 'updates' and 'target' files.
