[ this are the same patches as in v2 (see merge request !3 (merged)) but with changed commit sha1 ids so that if we want, we could re-merge after original merge revert (see commit 4f3bb0c9 for details. Original v2 description follow ]

For my current project I needed to rework BigFile interface to support on-server data appension. But while doing so I've discovered in many places current BigFile code could crash and is not working properly. Thus this patch series contain:

1. fixes for discovered bugs;
2. support for on-server data append via exposing ._dataAppend(data_chunk) method;
3. basic tests for BigFile (so that we know fixes are proper and we won't regress on the same things in the future).

Newly introduced BigFile tests were verified to pass on the testrunner:

NOTE running the whole testsuite failed because of:

• erp5_test_result:testTaskDistribution failure https://nexedi.erp5.net/test_result_module/20150303-3789A033/23 .

testTaskDistribution is currently failing from time-to-time even on ERP5-MASTER tests, e.g. here https://nexedi.erp5.net/test_result_module/20150226-1F4459D0, so from my point of view that should not be related to BigFile at all.

Please pull.

Thanks beforehand, Kirill
