[sugar] Activity testing on current 8.2 build 759

[Gary C Martin]

In no particular order, here's a list of basic activity test results  
for the current 8.2 build 759 on a B4 XO. I've included both success  
and failure so folks know what was tested. I was a little surprised to  
see quite how many activities don't actually keep any useful state in  
the Journal for resuming – though I'm also an offender here if you  
don't count a version in git I haven't .xo bundled yet :-)
