Ah I see Josh-- is the purpose to test only system iterators, as opposed to
generic tests to check user-defined iterators? That makes more sense.
Some users may define iterators that expect a column family, whereas all
the tests seek with `Collections.<ByteSequence> emptySet(), false`. There may
be many other places where a user does something "non-normal" intentionally.
If we make this public API, we should state that user iterators do not
necessarily need to pass all the IteratorTestCases, or at least that failing an
IteratorTestCase does not imply a bug.
