Deprecate compareToExpected and add verifyContent
-------------------------------------------------

         Key: WT-229
         URL: http://webtest-community.canoo.com/jira/browse/WT-229
     Project: WebTest
        Type: Task

    Versions: 2.0    
    Reporter: Marc Guillemot
 Assigned to: Marc Guillemot 


Current compareToExpected step shows several weaknesses:
- name doesn't fit with all our verifyXXX steps
- if reference file doesn't exist, it looks silently for it in a subfolder named "expected"
- it doesn't fail if reference file doesn't exist at all but just creates it
- it doesn't fail if an IO error occurs

It should be deprecated (and removed in a future release, aliasing is here not possible as it's not only a name problem) and a new, stricter step named verifyContent should be added:
<verifyContent referenceFile="someFile.xxx".../>
