Rest API test server change

[Gervase Markham]

Until now, the REST API test server has been 
bugzilla-stage-tip.mozilla.org. However, Mozilla IT want access to that 
server more closely restricted, because it runs test Bugzilla code and 
its database has Mozilla security bugs in, and they think those two 
things combined make it a risk.
https://api-dev.bugzilla.mozilla.org/stage/latest/bug/35
-> HTTP Error: 401 Authorization Required.

So I'm going to switch the test install of BzAPI to point at an install 
on Landfill, the Bugzilla project's test server. This is the sort of 
thing landfill is designed for (thanks, Max! :-). It means it won't have 
as large or as interesting a set of bugs to play with, but it means it 
will actually work, which could be considered a good thing.

So
https://api-dev.bugzilla.mozilla.org/stage/*
will stop working entirely, and instead we will have:
https://api-dev.bugzilla.mozilla.org/test/*

Changing the URL alerts people who don't read these groups but are using 
the test server that there's been a change of back end Bugzilla.

I'm pushed for time now so I plan to make this switch in a week, when I 
return from holiday.

Always remember that these public installs of BzAPI are 
best-efforts-only; if you have a business-critical reason for needing 
one, you may want to install your own.
