Use plain unittest instead of nose, use desktopcouch test idioms, make `setup.py test` work

[Jason Gerard DeRose]

My initial dmedia development was a quick proof of concept, so I used nosetests because they are a bit quicker to write.

Longterm using pure unittest, doctest is a much better approach, so I want to switch ASAP. It's also a perfect opportunity to use the desktopcouch test idioms (thanks Chad Miller).

Are all the activities fixed? `setup.py test` still fails

[Jason Gerard DeRose (jderose)]

Yes, the tests should all be passing, I don't merge to trunk if any
tests fail. It's just missing dependencies. From debian/control:

Depends: ${misc:Depends}, ${python:Depends},
python-desktopcouch-records, totem, libimage-exiftool-perl,
python-genshi, python-webkit, python-paste

The `totem` and `libimage-exiftool-perl` dependencies I want to drop
soon, they just provided a quick way to get things working for UDS
proof-of-concept.

Totem will be dropped in 0.2 because I will switch to some GStreamer
pipelines for meta-data extraction and thumbnail generation.

libimage-exiftool-perl will be a bit trickier because the right way to
do it is to write Python bindings to libexif.
