Subject: [PATCH 01/10] Add a decorator for "tagging" tests

Tests function (or classes) can be tagged with one or more tags.
This provides easier way to skip slow/unstable/dangerous tests
and/or or some subset of the tests (e.g. run only unstable tests
to check if the test is still failing).

Subject: [PATCH 02/10] Use test tags for skipping tests

This loads all individual test functions from the suite and checks
the tags to decide whether the test should be skippend or not.
We are abusing some unittest internal API to do this, but all
private functions works with Python 2 and Python 3 and general
looks like "stable enough" API.

Subject: [PATCH 06/10] Add a special test tag for library tests that recompile
 plugins

We have some tests that changes lvm plugin and recompile it to
test loading of plugins. We can't run these tests against
installed library, so we need a special tag to skip them.
