TL;DR
=====

Allow acceptance tests to be run with `make check-acceptance`.

Details
=======

This introduces a Python virtual environment that will be setup within
the QEMU build directory, that will contain the exact environment that
tests may require.

There's one current caveat: it requires Python 3, as it's based on the
venv module.  This was based on some discussions and perception about
standardizing on Python 3, but can easily be made to accommodate Python
2 as well.

Example of bootstrap and test execution on Travis-CI:

https://travis-ci.org/qemu/qemu/jobs/439331028#L2508

      VENV    /home/travis/build/qemu/qemu/tests/venv

Changes from v3:
================

 * Fixed typo in commit message (s/requiment/requirement/).  (Eric)

Changes from v2:
================

 * Make the $(TESTS_VENV_DIR) target depend on the
   venv-requirements.txt file, and touch $(TESTS_VENV_DIR) after venv
   runs.  With this, updates on the file are reflected on the
   venv. (Philippe)

 * Run pip with "python -m pip".  It may have been installed reusing
   the system wide packages, and then the script may not be available
   on the venv. (Philippe)

 * Dropped Python version on Travis, and using the version supplied
   by the distro (3.4). (Philippe)

 * Added "python3.4-venv" package requirement on Travis. (Philippe)

 * Added variable (AVOCADO_SHOW) with logging streams to be shown
   while running the acceptance tests.  By default it's set to none,
   the equivalent of the quiet mode used on previous versions.
   (Philippe)

 * On Travis, set the AVOCADO_SHOW variable to "app", so that the
   individual test results can be easily seen.  (Philippe)

Ideas discussed, but not implemented:

  * Run pip with "$(PYTHON) -m pip -q install ..." because it points
    to the system wide Python installation. (Philippe)

  * Drop the "--system-site-packages" flag.  Waiting on another round
    of tests to determine if they are really the cause of some package
    installation problems.

Changes from v1:
================

 * TESTS_VENV_REQ (the path of "venv-requirements.txt") now points to
   the source path ($SRC_PATH instead of $BUILD_DIR)

 * Create the venv with "--system-site-packages", which allows the
   reuse of packages (and no additional downloads) in case there's a
   package installed system wide providing the same package and
   version.

 * Run Avocado with "python -m avocado".  It may have been installed
   reusing the system wide packages, and then the script may not
   be available on the venv.

 * Improved documentation describing the Python 3, venv and pip
   requirements.

 * Updated avocado-framework requirement to latest released version
   (65.0)

 * (New commit) Added support for running the acceptance tests on
   Travis.

Ideas discussed, but not implemented:

 * Install external packages such as python3-pip on Debian based
   systems, deemed too invasive on developer's systems.

 * Allow the use of Python 2, and consequently the "virtualenv"
   module.

If you activate Travis on your github account, you can test that in your
namespace without having to open zombie pull requests there... A simple
push to your repository will trigger a full Travis build.

This is how I use it btw, canceling the jobs I'm not interested in, to
quickly run the others.
i.e. https://travis-ci.org/philmd/qemu/jobs/439573299#L5600

Yep, I've done that shortly after sending this. :)  Thanks for the tip,
though.

One thing I miss is the ability, without editing the .travis.yaml, to
"choose" just one/few jobs in a build.  Or maybe even the order they run
(Of course I want the acceptance tests job first).

Do you know anything about that?

I just add an extra commit that drop every tests but the ones I'm
interested to run and keep this patch until I'm happy with the series.
I push as 'myseries_only' then I simply do "git branch myseries_only~
myseries && git push series" to run against everything, go to check my
mailbox and review patches until it finishes, then I redact the cover
and post.
