[issue7588] unittest.TestCase.shortDescription isn't short anymore

[Jean-Paul Calderone]

New submission from Jean-Paul Calderone <exarkun at divmod.com>:

Sometime between Python 2.6 and 2.7a1, the
unittest.TestCase.shortDescription method changed from returning just
the test method name to the test method name, in parentheses, the fully
qualified Python name of the test case.

This breaks several Twisted unit tests and, I think, goes against the
expectations users have of the "shortDescription" method.
