Require newer python mock library

Older Python mock libraries do not provide MagicMock, which eases
mocking of complex objects quite a bit. As this is a build/test
dependency only, requiring a new version is OK (it's available via
easy_install).

Add dependency on python-mock

Python Mock (http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/mock/) is a mocking
library for Python. It is included in the standard Python distribution
as of Python 3.3, but has been around for quite a while. Debian unstable
contains a version we require....

Add dependency on PyYAML in devnotes

This is required because of 0e79564a; otherwise, the pylint-qa target will

Update required pylint version

This should help a lot of users, since pylint 0.21.1 was quite an old
version…

The tree is "clean" w.r.t. the new pylint version.

Improve a bit Haskell library recommended versions

The hinotify library was missing any versions, and finding one that
works with ghc 6.12 (base 4.2.x) was not obvious. The
test-framework-quickcheck2 recommended version didn't actually work
with the test-framework version, so fix that as well....

Move python test files to test/py

This is the first step of the test files reorganisation: moving test/*

Add note about developing on a production machine

This is the bit of documentation missing for issue 170. Doing
development on a machine which already has Ganeti installed kind of
works, but only when the installed and the developed version are very
similar, and even then it can be problematic....

Add a small note about tab completion and generated files

This can indeed be annoying, so let's document it.

Improve Haskell configure options and detection

This patch cleans up the Haskell library detection and defaults.

First, it makes the base compiler/libraries required, per the email discussion.

Switch Haskell test harness to test-framework

This patch replaces our home-grown, and quite limited, test runner
infrastructure with test-framework

Add a Makefile target for profiling targets

This simplifies the building of profiling-enabled htools binaries;
there are two targets, one used for the initial two-stage build, and
one that can be used for incremental builds.

The patch adds a new internal variable for the htools/test binary,...

Document some useful Haskell tips

This improves devnotes.rst with some tricks for Haskell development,
