    testbot: Allow explicitly specifying a Step's dependency.

    This allows the TestBot to start running the 64 bit tests even if there
    are still some 32 bit tests to run.
    It also lets the TestBot more freely schedule the tasks when a job
    involves many test units (and thus many steps).

Since this patch there has been some slightly broken scheduling on vm4 where
the build VM is. The symptom is that instead of remaining idle the build VM
goes through a string of revert -> sleeping -> idle -> sacrifice state changes
while the tests are being run on the other hosts.

Fortunately this does not break anything. It just means vm4 performs needless
work (and distorts that host's business statistics). Also I think this is not a
bug in the above patch but a preexisting bug in the database access framework
that just got exposed by this patch.
