Adapt run-test.sh to be able to run the tests  uninstalled

When autoreconfiscated with Automake 1.13, the way in which we were
(ab?)using Automake's test driver no longer works. We can't just
switch back to the old serial test driver without a dependency on
at least Automake 1.12, either. However, run-test.sh (which was already
used for installed tests) is quite capable of running uninstalled
tests, with a bit of adjustment:

* if GABBLE_TEST_UNINSTALLED is set, expect GABBLE_ABS_TOP_SRCDIR,
  GABBLE_ABS_TOP_BUILDDIR and optionally GABBLE_TEST_SLEEP in the
  environment
* look for installed or uninstalled files, as appropriate
* use TEST_PYTHON (which might differ from PYTHON)
* use python -u (unbuffered stdout) for better debugging
