avocado.core.loader: Append test directory to sys.path

If a test has local imports (a fairly common use case),
we have to append the base test dir to sys.path. Otherwise,
we end up having a horrible traceback as a result:

Exception loading test
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/lmr/Code/avocado.lmr/avocado/core/runner.py", line 200, in _run_test
    instance = loader.load_test(test_factory)
  File "/home/lmr/Code/avocado.lmr/avocado/core/loader.py", line 262, in load_test
    test_module = imp.load_module(module_name, f, p, d)
  File "scylla_longevity.py", line 5, in <module>
    from sdcm.tester import ScyllaClusterTester
ImportError: No module named sdcm.tester

Which is clearly not wanted. We had this problem before
and now we have a regression. It's time for a functional
test to make sure we don't regress again.
