docent: eight more regression scripts, one per fixed bug

rm35580  "Show <alt> placed on its chromosome" errored on the window
rm36061  DECIPHER SNVs details missing after a quickLift
rm36335  a quickLifted GIAB item click printed a garbled "can't port"
rm36340  a search-result click carried the source coordinate
rm37491  hgConvert named subtracks the user never showed as not liftable
rm37562  a stale lastPosition banner on the lifted search-results page
rm37615  a quickLifted bigBed tooltip reported pre-lift coordinates
rm37785  a squishyPack track stole a neighbouring track's center label

Each asserts the behavior its ticket says is correct, on genome-test, and names
in noText:/noUrl: the exact string the buggy build produced rather than a generic
"Error". Where the last page has no track image the noText: is paired with a
positive text: or url: check, because a bare noText: passes just as happily on a
blank page or an early error.

Four things found writing these, all of them recorded in the scripts:

A ticket's stated position and its stated item can disagree. #36061 says to go to
chr7:156,982,676-156,996,015 and click item 517898; that item is at
chr7:155,803,191, and decipherSnvs draws nothing at all in the ticket's window.

hideKids cannot express "the user deselected this subtrack". It writes a
<track>=hide cart variable, and isSubtrackVisible() (hg/lib/trackHub.c) begins
with overrideComposite = (NULL != cartOptionalString(cart, tdb->track)) and then
forces enabled = TRUE, so the sibling counts as visible to hgConvert and lands
back in the "failed to lift" warning. A first rm37491 failed on exactly that and
looked like the bug being back. A deselected subtrack is <track>_sel=0 with no
visibility variable, which is what hgTrackUi's checkbox writes and what the goto:
in that script sets.

#37615's fix is not the one the plan for this suite described. The first commit
appended a note saying the coordinates came from the source assembly; the second
replaced it with the real fix, which puts the TARGET coordinates in the tooltip.
A test for the note would fail.

decipherSnvs (SNVs) and decipher (CNVs) are two different members of the
superTrack decipherContainer, and the row that turns up when the SNVs track draws
nothing is the CNVs one, which reads like the same track under a shorter id.

+# #35580 -- "Show <alt> placed on its chromosome" errored instead of drawing the view.
+#
+# The reporter was at chr16_KI270853v1_alt:744117-744278, clicked the GRC Patches item,
+# and on the hgc page clicked "Show chr16_KI270853v1_alt placed on its chromosome". That
+# link puts hgTracks in singleAltHaplo mode, and it came back with
+#
+#     unexpected current window 55471440, expected first window 55471712
+#
+# The first attempt at a fix had to be reverted on the v487 branch (#36311, a build patch)
+# because it broke the UCSC Unusual Regions track in multi-region mode. The fix that
+# actually shipped is in v488, so this asserts the behavior of that one, not the reverted
+# one.
+#
+# The session is kept. Gerardo/RM_35326_bug is on genome-test, and what it contributes is
+# hard to build in steps: a position on an alt contig, with the GRC Patches track showing
+# and the four recount3 tracks on -- the ticket's own title asks whether recount3 is
+# involved, so the assertion below names two of them and would catch the view coming back
+# without them.
+#
+# The item on altSeqLiftOverPsl is called "chr16", which reads oddly next to the alt-contig
+# position but is what hgTracks puts in the map box: the item names the chromosome the alt
+# belongs to.
