set up fake data for testing #2

When the server runs in a test environment, it should serve fake morning mail data that we can test against.

Right now, I've chosen 12-13-2012 as "today" for testing purposes. This can change, but that's what it is for now. I've added an xml file for the all and undergrad feeds for days=1 through days=7 for right now. So there are 14 test files, which should gives us a good amount of data to start with since we're going to support ranges right off the bat. I've also added json versions of these files for testing purposes. Currently the json files map to the xml files exactly, so we can't do any range testing if the range doesn't start with "today." I'll fix that soon. I've also set up a simple framework for handling requests and for getting the test data. I'm about to set up mappings from requests to test data so we can start testing once we get started.

Cool! You might consider writing a function to get the date for "today" that returns the date when the env is production and 12-13-2012 when the env is test.
