[Catalyst] Reference to the connected Model::DBIC schema for testing?

Hopefully someone else has a better way, but I just instantiate the Model 
class myself (with a fake $c, courtesy of Test::MockObject) and use that.  I 
use this technique to simulate a user with Mech (or 
Test::WWW::Catalyst::Selenium), and then check to make sure my data store 
gets updated properly.

You mock object just needs to set $c->config to return a hashref of config, 
and you should be all set to:

$model 
and then use $model as though it were returned by $c->model('Whatever').
