Sergey Biryukov 55cddb2ac9 Tests: Resolve WP_Query test failures on MariaDB due to indeterminate sort order.
[54768] added a few tests to verify that caching within `WP_Query` is bypassed when the `SELECT` clause has been modified via a filter, to avoid cache key collisions and the returning of incomplete or unexpected results.

However, creating several posts with the same date/time fields can result in inconsistent sort ordering between MySQL and MariaDB, as each engine refines the order further using a different index.

This commit aims to stabilize the tests by using `assertEqualSets()` instead of `assertEquals()`, since testing the order is out of their scope. Includes removing `array_unshift()` and `array_reverse()` calls as no longer needed.

This resolves a few test failures on MariaDB along the lines of:

The short version:

1. Create a clean MySQL database and user. DO NOT USE AN EXISTING DATABASE or you will lose data, guaranteed.

2. Copy wp-tests-config-sample.php to wp-tests-config.php, edit it and include your database name/user/password.

3. $ svn up

4. Run the tests from the "trunk" directory:
   To execute a particular test:
      $ phpunit tests/phpunit/tests/test_case.php
   To execute all tests:
      $ phpunit

Notes:

Test cases live in the 'tests' subdirectory. All files in that directory will be included by default. Extend the WP_UnitTestCase class to ensure your test is run.

phpunit will initialize and install a (more or less) complete running copy of WordPress each time it is run. This makes it possible to run functional interface and module tests against a fully working database and codebase, as opposed to pure unit tests with mock objects and stubs. Pure unit tests may be used also, of course.

Changes to the test database will be rolled back as tests are finished, to ensure a clean start next time the tests are run.

phpunit is intended to run at the command line, not via a web server.
