[PATCH 0/7 v4] RFC: Python unit tests

[Simón Pena <spenap gmail com>]

Hi all,

This version has comprehensive information in the log messages. Summarizing:

* First the tests infrastructure is moved to /tests as suggested previously in
  the mailing list [1]
* Then, support for python unit tests is added
* The testrunner class is updated so that it allows selecting test suites
  from the command line. This commit isn't amended to the previous one, as the
  feature it offers can be considered an extra / unneeded, so it can be skipped.
* Several classes are tested
* The setUp / tearDown methods' code related to loading/unloading plugins
  is removed, as current plugin mechanism doesn't allow it. The load code is added
  to the test constructors, but some of the tests will fail as they aren't run in
  a "clean" environment.

Best regards,

Simon
