Reorganize and Apply Consistency to Unit Tests

Registered by Duncan McGreggor

This blueprint proposes a clean-up of the unit tests in nova, using guidelines employed by other Python projects with large codebases. In essence, moving unit tests to locations based on module. This was proposed here:
  https://lists.launchpad.net/openstack/msg05833.html

Discussion is still pending.

Whiteboard

[oubiwann] for all test case modules that are top level, keep them in nova/tests
[oubiwann] move current unit tests for modules that are not top-level modules (i.e. subpackages) into nova/<subpackage>/tests
[oubiwann] where two or more modules or subpackages are sharing one test case module, split them out into separate test_*.py files
[oubiwann] update the test runner to display the full dotted path of the unit test being run (heading-style, so it doesn't repeat with each line)
