Public bug reported:

While writing a Behat test that requires placing comments by anonymous
users on a portfolio page, I realized there is no easy way to visit a
portfolio page while you're logged out.

For logged in users, I've been relying on the fact that the default
Dashboard page includes the "latest views" block, which in normal test
cases will show the small number of pages created for the test. But a
logged-out user has no such dashboard. They need to get to the page
directly by its URL. But we can't rely on the URL being the same every
time because it contains an ID number, and MySQL doesn't reset the
automatically assigned ID numbers back to 0 between each test.

So, what we need is a step like this:

Given I go to portfolio page "This is my page"

The step can then look up the page's ID, and send you to the correct
URL.
