[issue10572] Move test sub-packages to Lib/test

[Zachary Ware]

Zachary Ware added the comment:

I'm in favor of a move, especially for ctypes, sqlite3, unittest, and tkinter, and don't really see a reason not to move distutils and lib2to3.  The IDLE tests make a certain amount of sense to stay in the idlelib folder, just because IDLE is a special case.  I'm pretty sure that covers all of the packages that still have tests outside of the test package.

I think the movements should only happen on 3.5; merging forward isn't nearly as much of an issue here in the days of hg, and backports to 2.7 should be becoming fewer and farther between.

I'd be happy to take care of making the moves, if we can decide that it's worth doing (or if it's left up to me :).
