Convert nova from using nosetests to testr for its test runner. Some tests had to be modified to get them to run properly under testr. run_tests.sh has been updated to run testr instead of nosetests. Coverage is collected by running subunit.run under coverage.py when the coverage environment is selected. Note that you will need to rebuild your virtualenvs as nose is being removed from the dependency lists and is being replaced by testr. Tests will run in different processes once this test is merged so you cannot use test classes to pass information between tests. Each test should be a proper independent unit. Additionally the -x and -d flags to run_tests.sh have been removed as there are currently no decent approximations for those functions. Change-Id: I019ca098972ca749b195f59968cf21edd5ba9109

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:
Developers wishing to work on the OpenStack Nova project should always base their work on the latest Nova code, available from the master GIT repository at:
Developers should also join the discussion on the mailing list, at:
