Backport the CHILD_ERROR status from master: a test is considered as
failed if a worker process running a test exited with a code
different than zero.

Change also the output: write stdout and stderr of the child process
after the test name, instead of writing it before.

accumulate_result(): don't use time of CHILD_ERROR or INTERRUPTED
results.

Use EnvironGuard on InstallTestCase and UtilTestCase.

Backport fixes from master to prevent the following warning:

Warning -- os.environ was modified by test_distutils

Ignore more generated files and test data downloaded by tests.

In PySlice_IndicesEx, clip the step to [-PY_SSIZE_T_MAX,
PY_SSIZE_T_MAX] rather than [PY_SSIZE_T_MIN, PY_SSIZE_T_MAX].

Buildbots don't run tests with -vv and so only log "xxx was modified
by test_xxx" which is not enough to debug such random issue. In many
cases, I'm unable to reproduce the warning and so unable to fix it.

Always logging the value before and value after should help to debug
such warning on buildbots.

AsyncoreEchoServer of test_ssl now calls
asyncore.close_all(ignore_all=True) to ensure that
asyncore.socket_map is cleared once the test completes, even if
ConnectionHandler was not correctly unregistered.

Fix the following warning:

Warning -- asyncore.socket_map was modified by test_ssl
  Before: {}
  After:  {6: <test.test_ssl.AsyncoreEchoServer.EchoServer.ConnectionHandler>}

Don't test if .git/HEAD file exists, but only if the .git file (or
directory) exists.

Use --short form of git hash.  Use output from "git describe" for tag.

Expected outputs:
1. previous hg
2. previous git
3. updated git

To unify running tests in Python 2.7 and Python 3, the test
package can be run as a script.  This is equivalent to running the
test.regrtest module as a script.

Based on commit 5c4b0d06 by Ned
Deily, which is based on original patches by Brett Cannon and Steve
Dower.

Remove also the private _Py_svnversion() function and SVNVERSION
variable.

Note: Py_SubversionRevision() and Py_SubversionShortBranch() are
unchanged, they are part of the public API.

To simplify backports from Python 3, the test.test_support module
was converted into a package and renamed to test.support.  The
test.script_helper module was moved into the test.support package.
Names test.test_support and test.script_helper are left as aliases to
test.support and test.support.script_helper.

* Remove conditional on free of `dps`, since `dps` is now allocated for
all versions of OpenSSL
* Remove call to `x509_check_ca` since it was only used to cache
the `crldp` field of the certificate
CRL_DIST_POINTS_free is available in all supported versions of OpenSSL
(recent 0.9.8+) and LibreSSL.

The reference to administrative data was confusing to readers,
so this simplifies the note to explain that deep copying may copy
more then you intended, such as data that you expected to be
shared between copies.

Patch by Sanyam Khurana.

The original attempted fix missed an `isdir()` call in
`get_base_branch()`.
