run-tests: create classes for representing tests

Currently, the state for an individual test is scattered across a number
of functions and variables. This patch begins a process of isolating a
single test's state into instances of a class. It does this by
establishing a new Test base class and child classes for Python tests
and T tests. The class currently has a run() API that proxies into the
existing "runner" functions. Upcoming patches will move the logic for
each test type into the class.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
