Ivan A. Melnikov 6beebc2584 Add optional-requirements.txt
While 'optional requirements' phrase is somewhat self-contradicting,
that's what we really have: requirements of optional (pluggable) parts
of TaskFlow are optional in the sense that one can use TaskFlow
without them.

This change puts all such requirements into optional-requirements.txt to
have all them documented in one place, uses that file to list deps for
default python 2.7 test environment.

Testing and requirements
------------------------
### Requirements
Because TaskFlow has many optional (pluggable) parts like persistence
backends and engines, we decided to split our requirements into two
parts:
- things that are absolutely required by TaskFlow (you can't use
TaskFlow without them) are put to `requirements.txt`;
- things that are required by some optional part of TaskFlow (you
can use TaskFlow without them) are put to `optional-requirements.txt`;
if you want to use the feature in question, you should add that
requirements to your project or environment;
- as usual, things that required only for running tests are put
to `test-requirements.txt`.
### Tox.ini
Our tox.ini describes several test environments that allow to test
TaskFlow with different python versions and sets of requirements
installed.
To generate tox.ini, use the `toxgen.py` script by first installing
[toxgen](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/toxgen/) and then provide that script
as input the `tox-tmpl.ini` file to generate the final `tox.ini` file.
*For example:*
$ toxgen.py -i tox-tmpl.ini -o tox.ini
