This was a vestige from when we used to need the unittest2 library for pre-2.7
compatibility. Now that we require Python 2.7, we aren't using that library
and this indirection wasn't doing any good.
This reverts commit 9c41c39913.
That commit used byte strings for the `if __name__ == '__main__'` pattern,
which was necessary when we were doing unicode_literals. But it is wrong on
Python 3, and now that we're liberated from unicode_literals, we need to go
back to native strings for this comparison.
'verbose' is now an int and not a boolean. '-v' is level 1, '-vv' level
2. In the configuration it can be set with 'verbose: 1' or 'verbose: 2'.
Improve #1244: auditing current log levels of plugins remains.
Include import of __future__ features division, absolute_imports and
print_function everywhere. Don't add unicode_literals yet for it is
harder to convert.
Goal is smoothing the transition to python 3.
The mock wasn't being triggered; these tests were going to the network. Now we
don't match on the query string and instead test that it was correct by
actually parsing it.
