Tests/Mesh view

Notes: The vast majority of mesh view features are not implemented yet. The process required for several of the steps, most significantly group formation and invitations, is mostly educated guesswork based on the HIG, as is the desired result. Also, it should be noted that this is not a test that can be run with just one XO - obviously, since it is testing invitations between different XOs, you'll need several.
