Remove transitive mapping tests? #13
Description
In the source map hackfest, we discussed that at least browser consumers are unlikely to want to implement transitive mapping (mapping in which source maps map to original sources that themselves have mappings).
We currently do have tests for this case, but maybe we should remove them?

I think it's valuable to test tools that perform source map composition, and even though the current transitive mappings test is not optimal it maybe helps with that?

btw im pretty sure WebKit doesn't support this
it would likely require Web Inspector to actually parse the
sourceContentin order to pull out the source map directive/URL instead of just displaying itunless this is something super commonly used, id be in favor of removing it and not supporting it as that's a nontrivial amount of work to implement

I think we should include tests on things like source map composition which are useful for tools, and just mark them with some metadata to explain to browsers that the tests aren't for them.
