unittests: add magic flag global to integrate utility methods with unittest

The stdlib unittest module has a magic flag (undocumented) which
indicates that a module is part of a unittest framework.

> Truncates usercode tb at the first unittest frame.
>
> If the first frame of the traceback is in user code,
> the prefix up to the first unittest frame is returned.
> If the first frame is already in the unittest module,
> the traceback is not modified.

This avoids some ugliness, e.g. the following test error logs:

```
>       self.assertPathListEqual(intro[0]['install_filename'], ['/usr/lib/libstat.aaa'])

unittests/allplatformstests.py:432:
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
unittests/baseplatformtests.py:393: in assertPathListEqual
    self.assertPathEqual(i[0], i[1])
unittests/baseplatformtests.py:384: in assertPathEqual
    self.assertEqual(PurePath(path1), PurePath(path2))
E   AssertionError: PurePosixPath('/usr/lib/libstat.a') != PurePosixPath('/usr/lib/libstat.aaa')
```

Since assertPathListEqual is our own assertion helper, we don't need to
give trace information about its internals. This change causes the error
log to become:

```
>       self.assertPathListEqual(intro[0]['install_filename'], ['/usr/lib/libstat.aaa'])
E       AssertionError: PurePosixPath('/usr/lib/libstat.a') != PurePosixPath('/usr/lib/libstat.aaa')

unittests/allplatformstests.py:432: AssertionError
```

which is a lot more readable.
