tests: add a test for blackbox with nested alias configurations

I've observed some weirdness around this, and needed to rule some
things out. There aren't any bugs in core around this, but it was nice
to have confirmation.

from __future__ import absolute_import, print_function
import os
import sys
import unittest

def main(modulename):
    '''run the tests found in module, printing nothing when all tests pass'''
    module = sys.modules[modulename]
    suite = unittest.defaultTestLoader.loadTestsFromModule(module)
    results = unittest.TestResult()
    suite.run(results)
    if results.errors or results.failures:
        for tc, exc in results.errors:
            print('ERROR:', tc)
            print()
            sys.stdout.write(exc)
        for tc, exc in results.failures:
            print('FAIL:', tc)
            print()
            sys.stdout.write(exc)
        sys.exit(1)

if os.environ.get('SILENT_BE_NOISY'):
    main = unittest.main
