The `link` and `clean` targets, very useful under development
environments, have supported directories containing `Makefiles`.

It turns out that for some plugins it may be enough (and more
Pythonic) to just have `setup.py` files, so let's support that.

The goal of the `optional_plugins` directory is to hold all plugins
that ship with Avocado, but are not considered core functionality.
Plugins that are considered to be core still live under
`avocado/plugins`.

This also adds all directories to be found under `optional_plugins` to
the list of candidate plugins when running `make clean` or `make
link`.

avocado/core/settings.py: allow settings to use the home dir notation [v4]

VIRTUAL_ENV variable might not be always present. That's the
case for ReadTheDocs. On the other hand, sys.real_prefix seems to
be a more reliable way to detect we are under a virtualenv.

Some settings refer to paths on the filesystem, and the use may want
to set them as `~/something`.  Let's use the type `path` on known
configuration keys.

It's common to use the tilde notation (`~/foo`) to refer to locations
inside the user directory.  Let's introduce a new settings key type,
called `path`, that will automatically expand the tilde notation
if one is found.

  Makefile: limit clean/link to possible plugin directories
  selftests/unit/test_utils_partition.py: also treat raised OSError
  Makefile: add explicit config to all mock commands
  Makefile: RPM repos are not hosted on COPR anymore
  Makefile: move Debian package related rules to contrib

The current wildcard expansion will look list every file (no matter
what type) as a plugin candidate.  It may be just my setup, but I have
a few files on the same common directory that shouldn't be treated as
plugin dirs.

While at it, also limit to directories that actually have a Makefile.

When skipping tests due to the lack of sudo permissions, OSError
can be raised when the asked binary does not exist and can not be
executed.

In an ideal world, only one "skip" decorator would have to run, and
this extra treatment wouldn't be necessary since there's already a
`missing_binary` being used.  Unfortunately, that's not how they work.

When generating RPM packages for different distros, it makes sense
to override the chosen mock config (the target distro) in the command
line, such as:

 $ make MOCK_CONFIG=epel-6-x86_64 rpm

So let's add the default value ("default" itself) to every mock command
and let the user running make to override it.

avocado/utils/partition.py: test related improvements

avocado.core: Cleanup runner->multiplexer API

This adds more specific checks for the conditions necessary to run the
Partition tests.  A specific check for the needed binaries (mkfs.ext2,
sudo) and the sudo configuration for running those.

The individual and extended checks make it easier to understand why
the tests could have been skipped.

The decision for not checking the existence of mount and umount is
because they are amount the most basic utilities on a Linux/UNIX
system.

When not given one specific filesystem types, the Partition utility
class defaults to ext2.  Let's document that properly and reinforce
that in the accompanying unittests.

  Sysinfo: do not force package collection

I noticed during a `make check` that my system was collecting the list
of installed packages.  Initially, I thought it was some explicit
check performed by a sysinfo related test, but it turned out that,
whenever avocado is run with the `sysinfo` command, it forces the
package collection.

That behavior is wrong, because it disregards the configuration key
`installed_packages` under `sysinfo.collect` that defaults to False.
If users intend to collect installed packages, than they should change
the appropriate configuration key.
