Drops all calls to PHP utility functions. nominatim cli functions
are used where possible, to stay as close to the final code as
possible with the tests.
By removing the PHP calls, the test code now only uses osm2pgsql and
the database module from the build directory.
So far the data directory constant has pointed to the source
directory to be usable with different subdirectories. Now only
the data subdirectory itself is being used with the constant,
so point to the directory directly.
This replaces {data_dir}/settings throughout the code, so that
the configuration may be placed somewhere else in the directory
structure (e.g. in /etc).
The PHP scripts need to know the position of the nominatim
tool in order to call it. This is handed in as environment
variable, so it can be set by the Python script.
In the future, the BDD tests will simply set up the required
test database themselves. Like with the template database, it
is not reimported when it already exists unless that is explicitly
forced.
Makes most of the API tests currently fail because they still
point to old test data.
Put the connection to the test database into auto-commit mode
and get rid of the explicit commits. Also use cursors always in
context managers and unify the two implementations that copy
data from the place table.
