Unable to read test config /etc/swift/test.conf - file not found

Solution:
1) We could make a dummy directory before starting the tests
2) Remove the path which is being checked i.e /etc/swift/test.conf which is of no use in current scenario also, as the path could be fetched from env variables also.

Code:
test/unit/__init__.py --> from test import get_config --> from swift.common.utils import readconf
