Switch to tox
Use the tox virtual environment testing framework to make our
lives easier. The code style and linter programs really belong
there, in the testing environment.
The tox configuration also defines a linter environement
(`tox -e linters`) that is not useful right now. The state of
the codebase is too bad and we will transition step-by-step.
Instead, we have to make sure the new patchsets are validated
and to that extent the linters should be run manually for now.
A pre-commit hook can be installed to run flake8 automatically.
The two linters included with this patch (flake8 and pylint)
use fixed versions to have a consistent linting experience.
They also have their own requirements file since they can be
used independently (or combined, as with tox).
Also, remove the following dependencies:
- autopep8 as it is not part of the flow (yet);
- coverage as it is not part of the flow (yet);
- mccabe (installed by flake8);
- pep8 that is the older name of pycodestyle (installed by
flake8);
- pyflakes (installed by flake8).
