stijn c6fd9ba4f3 tests: Add option to not clear MICROPYPATH when running tests
This allows using the test runner for other scenarios than just
testing uPy itself.
The principle of comparing either to CPython or else to a .exp
file is really handy but to be able to test custom modules not
built into micropython.exe one needs to be able to specify the
module search path a.k.a MICROPYPATH.

..

This directory contains tests for various functionality areas of MicroPython.
To run all stable tests, run "run-tests" script in this directory.

Tests of capabilities not supported on all platforms should be written
to check for the capability being present. If it is not, the test
should merely output 'SKIP' followed by the line terminator, and call
sys.exit() to raise SystemExit, instead of attempting to test the
missing capability. The testing framework (run-tests in this
directory, test_main.c in qemu_arm) recognizes this as a skipped test.

There are a few features for which this mechanism cannot be used to
condition a test. The run-tests script uses small scripts in the
feature_check directory to check whether each such feature is present,
and skips the relevant tests if not.

When creating new tests, anything that relies on float support should go in the 
float/ subdirectory.  Anything that relies on import x, where x is not a built-in
module, should go in the import/ subdirectory.
