   * Asserts the array of Ajax commands contains the searched command.
   *
   * The Ajax framework, via the ajax_render() function, returns an array of
   * commands. This array sometimes includes commands automatically provided by
   * the framework in addition to commands returned by a particular page
   * callback. During testing, we're usually interested that a particular
   * command is present, and don't care whether other commands precede or
   * follow the one we're interested in. Additionally, the command we're
   * interested in may include additional data that we're not interested in.
   * Therefore, this function simply asserts that one of the commands in
   * $haystack contains all of the keys and values in $needle. Furthermore, if
   * $needle contains a 'settings' key with an array value, we simply assert
   * that all keys and values within that array are present in the command we're
   * checking, and do not consider it a failure if the actual command contains
   * additional settings that aren't part of $needle.
   *
   * @param $haystack
   *   An array of Ajax commands returned by the server.
   * @param $needle
   *   Array of info we're expecting in one of those commands.
   * @param $message
   *   An assertion message.
