[Bug 1347958] [NEW] Minor inconsistency in d/tests/control format

[Barry Warsaw]

Public bug reported:

It's only a minor inconsistency, but I find it a little strange that
items in the Tests: and Restrictions: headers are space separated, but
items in the Depends: are comma separated.

I was faced with this when I accidentally comma separated the
Restrictions field for one of my tests, e.g.:

Restrictions: isolation-container, allow-stderr

and adt-run did not run the test.  It also didn't tell me that it was
skipping the test or why it was skipping it; it was just silently
skipping it.  Once I removed the comma, the test was run.
