introduce $form->mock_submit(); method to test form submission

          Details

            Description

            A mock_submit method should make the form behave as if a submit button has been pressed and get_data should then return all the values as passed into the form from set_data and setDefault etc. So that we could perform the following integration test for example :

            $questiondata = test_question_maker::get_question_data('multichoice', 'single');
            		 
            $expectedfromform = test_question_maker::get_question_form_data('multichoice', 'single');
            		 
            $form = new qtype_multichoice_edit_form(...);
            		 
            $form->set_data($questiondata);
            		 
            $form->mock_submit(); 
            $actualfromform = $form->get_data();
            		 
            $this->assertEquals($expectedfromform, $actualfromform);
            		 
            save_question($actualfromform);
            		 
            $actualquestiondata = question_load_questions(array($actualfromform->id));
            		 
            $this->assertEquals($questiondata, $actualquestiondata);
