Gross, but I don't really see another way to handle the asynchronous
nature of spawning background browsers.
Two things, though:
1. Should test_web_browse just delete fake_browser_ran for us? Then
later tests do not have to remember to do so.
2. Seeing fake_browser_ran appeared, we know that the script has
started. But there is still a race condition in which it may not
have written anything to "actual" yet.
In this implementation:

There is a period where fake_browser_ran exists, but nothing is in
actual. You can solve it by setting fake_browser_ran at the end rather
than the beginning.
Or you can drop fake_browser_ran entirely, and just atomically move
actual into place, like:
echo "fake: $*" >actual.tmp
mv actual.tmp actual
and then test_web_browse can just spin waiting for "actual" to appear.
