More generic configuration system is introduced in order to i) unify the
way how modules access the configurations instead of using low-level
get/setenv functions and ii) enable the customization for where configuration
is stored. This could be extended to support flag, file, etc.
Default configuration system uses environment variables as before so
basically this is expected to work just as it did. This behavior can
change by redefining GPR_GLOBAL_CONFIG_DEFINE_*type* macros.

The source code is moved from src/python to
src/python/src. A setup.py is added at
src/python. The build_python.sh and
run_python.sh scripts are updated to build
and run the Python tests by building a
package and installing it in the developer's
Python 2.7 virtual environment.
