We're going one step ahead to unittest  compatibility.
Now we obsolete action() method and use runTest().
Then what is runTest() will be run().

Update the selftests and tests regarding this modification.

Now that we don't enforce a silly correspondence test
module name -> class name, we can call our test classes
whatever we want as long as it inherits from avocado.test.Test.

Let's then rename our tests to something more CamelCase.

Remove the license text from files inside docs, examples and selftest,
to keep the license text only in relevant parts of the project.

We have tests/ and selftests/ in avocado (the test runner).
The former includes examples of tests that make use of the
avocado API, and are also used to test avocado via CI.

This is confusing, as it doesn't make it clear to users that
tests are not part of the avocado framework. Since we have a
directory called examples with some other files (multiplexer,
plugins), move the tests to there (and keep using them in the CI).

The check_progress() idea is too simplistic for what we aim for,
so let's remove it to prevent test writers from depending on it.

Also, rename communicate_state() to report_state().

Which doesn't hold any logic, but serves as an example.

To watch the intended behavior in action, I recommend running the
"one_hundred_cycles" variant of this tests.

The test runner will show that the test is running (yellow throbber
spinning), and once each six seconds (+1% into the test run) a green
throbber will be shown.

We want avocado tests to not require specific directories,
the user should be able to arrange them in the dir structure
they see fit. Also, if a test requires data, we suppose their
data dir is located in the same directory as the source file,
with the name:

[modulename].data

Re arrange the test dir to reflect this new structure.

Instead of using self.params.set_default() manually for
each default value, allow test writers to set a
default_params attribute with default params, and
set them at test class init time. This way we keep
things even shorter, while allowing avocado tests
to be used stand alone.

Modify sleeptest to pick any params from self.params.
Also, introduce a sample multiplex file, sleeptest.mplx,

I went through all python files in avocado code, and
some changes were made:

* Files entirely written by the current avocado dev
team were changed to be GPL v2+
* Files with a significant portion of code derived
from autotest remain GPL v2 strict, and original
authorship was re-established
