Makefile: Allow different paths

Some people clone repositories to different names, which breaks the
"make link" functionality. This patch uses dynamic variables to support
such usage.

RFC: Makefile: Move "make link" to plugins

This patch removes the hardcoded plugin linking and instead queries all
../!(avocado)/Makefile files to link or unlink the plugins. This should
help people to deploy own plugins in the same fashion without the need
to modify avocado's main Makefile.

Use standard unittest (and setuptools) for execution of selftests 

All other tests (unit and functional) are based on unittest. Let's do
the same to this one, so that the default unittest discover code finds
it and runs it.

Even though I may be the one to blame about coming up with this
"simple import magic", I believe it was a mistake and we should get
rid of them.

There are a couple of other ways to actually do development out of
of a source tree, including running unittests that do not require
this amount of boiler plate code. Examples include just setting
the PYTHONPATH environment variable to actually run (setuptools based)
`python setup.py develop`.

The little bits of what looks like the import magic that was left, is
not really import magic. It's just that functional tests need to locate
the Avocado source tree base directory to run the test runner from it.

One standard setuptools command is "test". That command does some useful
setup and then runs the test in a verbose mode.

There are a couple of reasons for activating that, including that
setuptools can help us support a Python 3 version of Avocado by
running 2to3 and even custom fixers before running the tests, or even
builds and installs.

The unittest module, and unittest2 backport on Python 2.6, is capable of
finding unittests and running them. So, effectively, we do not need nose
at all.

This patch removes the dependency on nose, replacing the run script
with a version based solely on the unittest module.

One change of functionality is that run now looks and runs tests in the
standard selftests directories (unit, functional, doc), and does not
accept command line arguments. If one wants to run a subset of them,
it's pretty easy to just use the unittest module for that:

 $ python -m unittest discover -s selftests/unit

When running this functional test with the standard unittest
discovery/runner it produces output that conflicts with the runner
output.

It looks like this output is not necessary for the test itself, and
not that helpful for debugging purposes, so, let's just silence it.

To be honest, our test code could still be kept in the same directories and
have the same names. But I think we can improve two things here:

1) Flatten a little bit the directory structure of selftests. Two path
components are being dropped here: "all" and "avocado". So that
"selftests/all/functional/avocado" becomes simply
"selftests/functional".

2) File names match what is, by default, recognized by unittest (the
Standard Library module) based discovery of tests. That means that
doc_build_test.py becomes test_doc_build.py. Not a big deal IMHO.

We are too verbose when Ctrl+C is pressed, we can convey
a sufficient amount of information more concisely. Also,
instead of printing the first message on the 2nd Ctrl+C
pressed, print it right away so the user knows that avocado
understood his/her request.

After a not so successful attempt to fix Ctrl+C management
(see c400b2f4), I finally figured out the actual problem
with the way we were doing handling: We just needed a
clean way to break out of the test loop. Since
TestRunner.run_test will return False if avocado
received a Ctrl+C, let's use it to establish a condition
for breaking the TestRunner.run_suite loop.

This reverts commit c400b2f4.
As a matter of fact the reversion had to be fixed due to
a conflict with new code that entered that particular part
of the code. The behavior previous to the commit was kept
the same, so that we can change things in the next commits.

In some external test suites, what is defined as a "test" can not be
run by itself and need a specific runner script/tool.

This introduces the concept of an "inner runner", that is, a custom
test runner or tool that can deal with custom tests that do follow
the Avocado SIMPLE test definition.

This implements the Trello card:

 https://trello.com/c/TpXecE2n/486-introduce-inner-runner-to-avocado-run

More information can be found in the man page section about it.

Changes from v1:
 * removed "level" from "inner level runner" mentions
 * replicated docs from man page to "main" docs
