[issue15403] Refactor package creation support code into a common location

[Chris Jerdonek]

Thanks for your thoughts.  For the purposes of this patch, I will change to putting the new support functionality in test.support.  Going forward, if we could do some of the refactoring for 3.3.1, that would be great. :)

I worry that the third option may make things worse because it would become less obvious where all of the different test support functionality is located.

Are you opposed to (2), or is it simply less favorable?  The transition to (2) could be a gradual one beginning with two or even one module inside the package.
