Created test class QuerySpecificationTest and started process of removing the xml_index from the QuerySpecification code. Reformatted some classes for readability.

Added more debugging messgaes to the test in an attempt to find out
what is wrong with the cookies.

Updated more tests on session reuse. Made the http calls set the sessionid

New versions of the Metacat client API that allow access to the sessionId

Modified metacat to now provide the session identifier in the response
xml message when a login is called. This has not been fully tested.
