Some of our tests expect a specific PHP extension to be loaded to get
anything done, for example zlib or gd. This patch creates a new helping
method that people can use to easily skip a test whenever a PHP
extension is not around: MediaWikiTestCase::checkPHPExtension()
Example usage:
function testCompressFiles() {
$this->checkPHPExtension( 'zlib' );
...
}
