asyncio, Tulip issue #136: Add get/set_debug() methods to BaseEventLoopTests.
Add also a PYTHONASYNCIODEBUG environment variable to debug coroutines since
Python startup, to be able to debug coroutines defined directly in the asyncio
module.

When a coroutine function is called but not passed to :func:`async` or to the
:class:`Task` constructor, it is not scheduled and it is probably a bug.

The debug flag changes the behaviour of the :func:`coroutine` decorator. The
debug flag value is only used when then coroutine function is defined, not when
