This change both speeds up specs (less strings to allocate) and helps catch
cases where methods in Discourse are mutating inputs.
Overall we will be migrating everything to use #frozen_string_literal: true
it will take a while, but this is the first and safest move in this direction
This introduces match_html, which converts actual and expected HTML strings into "canonical" HTML using Nokogiri with NOBLANKS and COMPACT, and then does a simple equality comparison.
This eliminates whitespace differences introduced by library changes (e.g. the libxml2 2.9.0 change).
pretty_text_spec.rb has been changed to use match_html where appropriate. and all tests pass under libxml2 2.7.6, 2.8.0 or 2.9.0
