[Piglit] [RFC 4/9] framework backends: treat backends more like plugins

This allows backends to register classes and functions using a simple
Registry object, and then uses the existing helper functions to get
those objects for use, without needing to know the details.

-from . import json, junit
+This package provides an abstract interface for working with backends, which
+implement various functions as provided in the Registry class, and then provide
+a Registry instance as REGISTRY, which maps individual objects to objects that
+piglit expects to use. This module then provides a thin abstraction layer so
+that piglit is never aware of what backend it's using, it just asks for an
+object and receives one.
 
-# A list of available backends
-BACKENDS = ['json', 'junit']
+Most consumers will want to import framework.backends and work directly with
+the helper functions here. For some more detailed uses (test cases expecially)
+the modules themselves may be used.
+
+When this module is loaded it will search through framework/backends for python
+modules (those ending in .py), and attempt to import them. Then it will look
+for an attribute REGISTRY in those modules, and if it as a
+framework.register.Registry instance, it will add the name of that module (sans
+.py) as a key, and the instance as a value to the BACKENDS dictionary. Each of
+the helper functions in this module uses that dictionary to find the function
+that a user actually wants.
