Recently we introduced "in-package-config" which is packaged by default
with Avocado and in the original version if exists the system-wide
config is not used at all. I think this is unexpected behavior as users
are used to set configs in /etc so this patch changes it to first use
in-package-config, then in-etc-config and last the user-config.

With the recent changes the "libexec" dir is only available when
installed via RPM. In order to have "libexec" files available
as standard package we have to include it in  the package_files
dir (avocado/). The benefit is that we can actually use package
resources to get the location in "avocado exec-path" command.

For packaging purposes let's simply symlink $libexec/avocado to the
packaged $avocado/libexec location so there is the usual location, but
keep using the python-location by default.

PEP461 is only available on Python 3.5.  Our CI (Travis) is set to run
on Python 3.4, and there's no reason not to be compatible with those
older Python versions IMO.

Let's then use a syntax that will produce the same content, but will
work on all Python 3.x versions.

The prevailing coding style of Avocado (unittest.TestCase) tests is to
use the specialized assert methods, such as assertNotRegexpMatches.

Unfortunately, the regular expression related assertion methods have
been through a messy renaming.  In theory, assertNotRegexpMatches and
assertRegexpMatches should be available in Python 3.0 and 3.1, but not
in Python >= 3.2, where it got renamed to assertRegex and
assertNotRegex.

In practice, in my system with Python 3.6.3, I see:

>>> unittest.TestCase.assertNotRegexpMatches
<function TestCase._deprecate.<locals>.deprecated_func at 0x7f3b85b709d8>

But in Travis, with Python 3.4, it's not available:

ERROR: test_directives_regex (selftests.unit.test_safeloader.DocstringDirectives)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/travis/build/avocado-framework/avocado/selftests/unit/test_safeloader.py", line 135, in test_directives_regex
    self.assertNotRegexpMatches(directive, safeloader.DOCSTRING_DIRECTIVE_RE)
AttributeError: 'DocstringDirectives' object has no attribute 'assertNotRegexpMatches'

Let's simplify things and just use a regex match and check for its
result.

  utils.cpu: Update cpu info pattern for aarch64

arm64 or aarch64 pattern is not easy to identify in the
cpuinfo. For v7 there is model name in the cpuinfo and it
could be regonize as arm for 32 bit. But in v8 only could
found 'CPU architecture' in the cpuinfo and current code
will fail to match and return i386 which is wrong.

For fix this, if 'CPU architecture' found in cpuinfo, use
platform.machine to return the arch name.

  Packaging: add bash RPM sub package
  Packaging: remove man page sources from binary RPM packages
  Packaging: remove examples from Python side of installation
  Packaging: remove unused function _get_resource_files()
  Settings: remove variables from the main module namespace
  Packaging: exclude optional_plugins tests in addition to selftests
  Packaging: add missing configuration files for RPM packages
  Packaging: make config files data files of the avocado module

To remove some of the bloat (even if little) of the base
python-avocado package, let's move content that is not useful to
Python developers out of the way.

This should also make the experience of content more similar across
users of the Python module (say, from a `pip install`) and users of
the python-avocado package.

The main module namespace has a lot of variables which are only
used in the main class initialization method.  Let's avoid poluting
the module namespace and move those to where they're used.  If
we want to put variables at the global module namespace, we
should consider if they're useful to other modules, make them
all caps, and document them.

A nicer refactor could be done here, but IMO, this is still an
improvement.

The selftests from the main source directory (and package) are already

In a pure Python world[1] the "avocado" module requires the existence
of these configuration files.  Let's make those configuration files
"data files" of that module.

Since the configuration location can now be a different, the settings
module needs adjustments to also attempt to load them from package
resources (which is tied to the data files).

Finally, when using RPM packages, we need to put the configuration
back into the system location (/etc).

  Revert "avocado/core/job.py: don't attempt to run git if .git doesn't exist"

When looking for the GIT commit info to log in the Avocado job log,
we can optmize things a little by not running git if the ".git" directory
doesn't exist at the top level.

py2to3 is not being used anymore, so we don't need to check if we're
running from modules from the build directory.

Also, as another optmization, let's not look for the git binary until
we're sure we'll be running it.

avocado is executed from main git directory.
