------------------------------------------------------------

Previously the rpc_tempest_gate.sh script used nose to run the tempest
tests. This patch switches to testr, which seems to be the community
consensus.

The primary reason for this is that test skips exceptions are
interpreted as skips not errors.

A secondary benefit is that testr revolves around test lists so we can
fine tune the test list without modifying tempest code.

Re-opened this bug as we need something to track the backporting this patch.

[Justin Shepherd (jshepher)]

@mattt416 this change landed against master.. does it also need to be backported to icehouse?
