Description

TestingTools? would work better if (DOM) id:s were predictable. This is trivial to implement, something like:

Change ApplicationConnection?, if in testing mode, generate IDs sequentially (not from PID), except static pid:s that should be passed trough. Implement in ApplicationConnection?, about line 667: 

        if (usePaintableIdsInDOM) {
            DOM.setElementProperty(component.getElement(), "id",
                   SOMETHING ELSE);
        }

If not PID_S increment by one and put in idToPid map.

End result should be id:s that start from 0 even if reloading. This would also allow us to use random pids serverside.

(proof-of-concept tested, just needs proper impl and some real testing)
