#1576: support running tests for an installed version without causing
allmydata.test.test_runner.BinTahoe.test_the_right_code to fail

 Reporter:  davidsarah      |          Owner:  somebody
     Type:  defect          |         Status:  new
 Priority:  major           |      Milestone:  undecided
Component:  code            |        Version:  1.9.0b1
 Keywords:  test packaging  |  Launchpad Bug:
----------------------------+---------------------------
 The intended way to run tests for an OS package-manager-installed copy of
 Tahoe-LAFS is {{{tahoe debug trial}}} (which uses the installed
 {{{tahoe}}} script on the PATH).

 This fails with the following error:
 {{{
 [FAIL]
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/allmydata/test/test_runner.py", line
 119, in test_the_right_code
     self._check_right_code(srcfile)
   File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/allmydata/test/test_runner.py", line
 116, in _check_right_code
     self.fail(msg)
 twisted.trial.unittest.FailTest: We seem to be testing the code at
 '/usr/lib/pymodules',
 (according to the source filename
 '/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/allmydata/__init__.pyc'),
 but expected to be testing the code at '/home/eutopia'.
 Please run the tests from the root of the Tahoe-LAFS distribution.

 allmydata.test.test_runner.BinTahoe.test_the_right_code
 }}}

 because that test doesn't know where the code is supposed to be located.
 It is OK for the test to be skipped in this case.
