------------------------------

(was: I"m having trouble with reviewboard so I've attached the patch as reviews.diff. Sorry for the inconvenience. 

I'm a bit behind, I haven't got a new example yet but I've made progress on getting rid of the test_env.sh/.ps1, and I believe I have an easy route to allowing tests to be run against a qpid install :)

    QPID-5307: brokertest framework: remove dependencies on environment scripts.
    
    The following improvements have been made to the brokertest.py framework,
    and the ha_tests.py test module has been updated to take advantage:
    
    - Tests are standard python unittest modules can be run via qpid-python-test or any python test runner
    - Test modules are also executable scripts, they run themselves via qpid-python-test and accept all arguments that qpid-python-test does.
    - No environment settings are required to run the tests, test_env.sh and test_env.ps1 are not required.
    - Configuration formerly in the test_env scripts is provided in test_config.py
    - Only requirement to run tests is that the current directory:
      - contains a test_config.py script
      - is writable so the tests can create output directories.
    - CMake generates a test_config.py suitable for running tests against a qpid build.
    
    TODO:
    - Verify ha_tests.py runs under windows.
    - Generate a test_config.py to run tests run against a qpid install.
    - Restore windows store configuration removed temporarily.
    - Convert some existing .sh/.ps1 script tests to a new test module as examples.

> The C++ tree's test suite drivers are primarily shell scripts. Many were duplicated as Windows PowerShell scripts along the way. However, not all scripts were PowerShell-ized, and the dual set of test scripts is not maintained in sync. Someone (Cliff?) suggested a while back that the test driver scripts be written in a common language across Linux and Windows, and for other platforms as well.
> Python, Perl, Ruby are all possible choices - python and ruby need to be on build systems anyway for code generation. What do people think about a) this idea in general, b) language to use?
