[Python-Dev] devinabox: Add a Python script which will run the test suite in the most rigorous way

[Brett Cannon]

The biggest problem with make test is it is not exactly the same as the
script (e.g., no automatic -j usage). It also is not cross-platform since
Windows dev's are left out without installing cygwin. And we can't simply
use -m test as that leaves out flags passed to the interpreter.
