Make it easier to run a selection of tests relevant to ongoing work

During development of a new git commit, locally running a whole unit
or functional test suite to check every minor code change is
prohibitively expensive.  For maximum developer productivity and
happiness, it's generally desirable to make the feedback loop of the
traditional red/green cycle as quick as possible.

So add run-tests-for-diff.sh and run-tests.py to the tools/
subdirectory, using a few tricks as explained below to help with this.

run-tests.py takes a list of files on STDIN, filters the list for
tests which can be run in the current tox virtualenv, and then runs
them with the correct stestr options.

run-tests-for-diff.sh is a simple wrapper around run-tests.py which
determines which tests to run using output from "git diff".  This
allows running only the test files changed/added in the working tree:

    tools/run-tests-for-diff.sh

or by a single commit:

    tools/run-tests-for-diff.sh mybranch^!

or a range of commits, e.g. a branch containing a whole patch series
for a blueprint:

    tools/run-tests-for-diff.sh gerrit/master..bp/my-blueprint

It supports the same "-HEAD" invocation syntax as flake8wrap.sh (as
used by the "fast8" tox environment):

    tools/run-tests-for-diff.sh -HEAD

run-tests.py uses two tricks to make test runs as quick as possible:

  1. It's (already) possible to speed up running of tests by
     source'ing the "activate" file for the desired tox virtualenv,
     e.g.

        source .tox/py36/bin/activate

     and then running stestr directly.  This saves a few seconds by
     skipping the overhead introduced by running tox.

  2. When only one test file needs to be run, specifying the -n option
     to stestr will skip the costly test discovery phase, saving
     several more valuable seconds.

Future commits could build on top of this work, harnessing a framework
such as watchdog / watchmedo[0] or Guard[1] in order to automatically
run relevant tests every time your editor saves changes to a .py file.

[0] https://github.com/gorakhargosh/watchdog - Python-based
[1] https://guardgem.org - probably best in class, but Ruby-based so
    maybe unacceptable for use within Nova.

Since when testing locally, running the entire test suite on a regular
basis is prohibitively expensive, the ``tools/run-tests-for-diff.sh``
script is provided as a convenient way to run selected tests using
output from ``git diff``. For example, this allows running only the
test files changed/added in the working tree::
tools/run-tests-for-diff.sh
However since it passes its arguments directly to ``git diff``, tests
can be selected in lots of other interesting ways, e.g. it can run all
tests affected by a single commit at the tip of a given branch::
tools/run-tests-for-diff.sh mybranch^!
or all those affected by a range of commits, e.g. a branch containing
a whole patch series for a blueprint::
tools/run-tests-for-diff.sh gerrit/master..bp/my-blueprint
It supports the same ``-HEAD`` invocation syntax as ``flake8wrap.sh``
(as used by the ``fast8`` tox environment)::
tools/run-tests-for-diff.sh -HEAD
By default tests log at ``INFO`` level. It is possible to make them
log at ``DEBUG`` level by exporting the ``OS_DEBUG`` environment
variable to ``True``.
