[issue14408] Support ./python -m unittest in the stdlib tests

[Michael Foord]

Michael Foord <michael at voidspace.org.uk> added the comment:

One way to exclude base classes from being loaded as tests is to have the base class *not* inherit from TestCase (just from object) - and use it as a mixin class for the actual TestCases. 

This isn't particularly elegant (but works fine). A better way of supporting this in unittest would be a reasonable request (a "not_a_test" class decorator or similar perhaps).
