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/

To run the tests, do:

cd tests/
python run-tests.py
