run-tests: split tests/blacklist in tests/blacklists/*

Following discussions with Gilles Morris [1], it seems that it is preferable to
use several blacklist files in a blacklists/ directory. It is easier to add an
unversioned file for experiments than modifying a tracked file.

Also fall back to a simpler syntax, giving up ConfigParser, now that section
names are not needed anymore.

And allow --blacklist parameter to be a complete path, instead of only one
of the filenames contained in tests/blacklists/

Put here definitions of blacklists for run-tests.py

Create a file per blacklist. Each file should list the names of tests that you
want to be skipped.
File names are meant to be used as targets for run-tests.py --blacklist
option.
Lines starting with # are ignored. White spaces are stripped.

e.g. if you create a blacklist/example file containing:
 test-hgrc
 # some comment
 test-help
then calling "run-tests.py --blacklist blacklists/example" will exclude
test-hgrc and test-help from the list of tests to run.
