And the compatiblity helper six.  With Python 2 gone, a number of
package changes are also introduced, so that the packages are always
named python3-<suffix>.

Also, because it would be confusing not having an "avocado" script,
and to conform with the system wide change introduced by distros that
now offer Python 3 by default, the scripts are no longer called
avocado-3 (or avocado-3.x), but simply "avocado".

Avocado is frequently used with Avocado-VT, so let's make it easier
for users to jump to Avocado-VT's documentation for a smoothier
installation experience.

This is based on real feedback from a long time user, after wasting time
attempting to find Avocado-VT references.

Which is also supposed to be the most universal installation
method: pip based installs in the user's own directories.

Then, give information on virtual environment based installations.

The README file was missing the section on pip based installs, so

PICT is a free software (MIT licensed) tool that implements
combinatorial testing.  Information about it can be found here:

   https://github.com/Microsoft/pict/

This is a very simple, but functional varianter implementation.  It
performs the basic tasks of creating variants and making parameters
accessible to tests.  To test this version, it's recommended to
download PICT, build it (it only takes a C compiler such as GCC or
clang and make) and put it in a location included in your PATH (or use
`--pict-binary`).

To list the variants generated with the default order (2, that is,
do a pairwise idenpendent combinatorial testing):

 $ avocado variants --pict-parameter-file=examples/params.pict
 Pict Variants (11):
 Variant amd-scsi-rtl8139-windows-rhel6-acff:    /run
 ...
 Variant amd-ide-e1000-linux-rhel6-eb43:    /run

To list the variants generated with a 3-way combination:

 $ avocado variants --pict-parameter-file=examples/params.pict \
   --pict-order-of-combinations=3

 Pict Variants (28):
 Variant intel-ide-virtio-windows-rhel7-aea5:    /run
 ...
 Variant intel-scsi-e1000-linux-rhel7-9f61:    /run

It's also possible to run tests with variants generated by the same
command line switches.

This is a UI tweak, as suggested during review, to remove the tests
time.

It's kept separately, because it can be easily dropped if any reason
to keep it arises.

A long standing task is to show the job execution time, instead of the
sum of tests execution time.  After some major work, this is now
possible.

This change adds the job execution time to the human interface UI, in
addition to the test execution time.  Some users may prefer the job
execution time alone, while others may prefer all the time statistics
on a single line.

Since we cannot please everyone, this version just adds it.  I believe
UI tweaks can follow.
