Woohoo, thanks for the CI work!

Outside of CI, I am strongly in favor jstests.py running test262 by
default. Concretely, I am in favor of:
 - Default set to be everything, including test262, and
 - Ability to exclude entire subdirectories

They supersede many of our tests and is the general source of compliance
truth for many corner cases. The increased running time is worth it for
correctness when implementing new features. JIT hackers can most likely get
by most of the time without running the full suite.
