tests: introduce 'seq.py' as a portable replacement for 'seq'

OS X 10.6.8 doesn't have it, while 10.10 does.  I'm not sure when it was added.
It may be missing from other platforms as well.

This currently doesn't handle the string manipulation options (-f, -s and -w in
MinGW anyway), since there is currently no need for it.  Since xrange defaults
to starting at 0 instead of 1, and treats the end as exclusive instead of
inclusive, the args need to be extracted instead of doing:

        xrange(*[int(a) for a in sys.argv[1:]])

Therefore, the step might as well be added, even though there is no current use.

#!/usr/bin/env python

import errno, os, sys

for f in sys.argv[1:]:
    try:
        print f, '->', os.readlink(f)
    except OSError, err:
        if err.errno != errno.EINVAL:
            raise
        print f, 'not a symlink'

sys.exit(0)
