[Development] Setting up test server for QtNetwork tests

[Hausmann Simon]

Regarding the server that is used for Qt 5.6 and onwards: It is an exact clone of the virtual machine that ran in Jenkins with no changes
to the services, but it is in a different virtual network segment. The virtual segment is the same as the virtual machines that run the tests,
and that has proven to improve the reliability of network test execution dramatically.

Hi

That manual is probably the only official one we have. Up  until Qt 5.5 we've been using that one ourselves as well.
We did have a work in progress version on top of Ubuntu 12.04: https://gitorious.org/qtqa/tosarajas-sysadmin-nts.git/?p=qtqa:tosarajas-sysadmin-nts.git;a=blob;f=README.network_test_server.txt;h=2b745d077e98f2cf64c4ab8e0391e8e0cbf51118;hb=HEAD

But as newer versions of backend services fixed various things, our autotests weren't fixed to handle the situation. Thus we were stuck with the old one.

Now in Qt 5.6 we use yet another one, and sadly I have no knowledge what it contains. It's on my todo list to figure out. Most likely a mixture of the two above.
