Store per-project pycicle settings in the project being tested

[biddisco]

Allow pycicle to take its per project settings from the source project itself.

Each project that uses pycicle for testing can have a pycicle subdir that stores the testing/config settings, the main advantage being

• The settings for the project can be maintained by the project owners without modifiying pycicle
• Different branches could (in principle) have different test settings
• Changes to options can be smoothly updated by the project

and lots more reasons

Going to start working on this to support other projects. For now I'm considering making a dev branch so as not to disrupt your hpx infrastructure but I am not intending a fork so we should discuss when you have time.

• Each trunk should not require a project level directory under config

I'm very happy that you are helping. We have the potential to make a really very useful build tool that handles all our projects' requirements if we add all the features we're considering.

Yes I think so too.
