[reSIProcate] b2bua tests.

[Ali Işık]

Hi there, devs -- I figured I would try to start writing some tests for the
b2bua, and then development and tests would go hand in hand.

I want to be able to write isolation tests (mock out collaborators).  I took
a shot at using Google Mock.  You should be able to apply the attached
patch and see whether you think this all makes sense.

The patch applies against resiprocate-1.8.4 and adds a test dir under
b2bua.  The test dir includes a README file (with some shell commands
only) and a mock dir that includes one example.

There is only one sample test built on top of the example in the gmock
distribution.  I added one test (that doesn't even exit in its current form
-- it just "runs") for the sole purpose of demonstrating what I have in mind.

I would like to hear some feedback on this before I proceed further.

Cheers,

-- Ali Isik
