[issue16312] New command line option supported by unittest.main() for running initialization code before tests

[Piotr Dobrogost]

New submission from Piotr Dobrogost:

When running tests bundled with a library it would be useful to be able to run some initialization code before tests are being run so that one can configure options pertaining to logging for example.

For this reason it would be useful to have a new command line option handled by unittest.main() for running custom Python module before running tests.
