Add support for reseting the Eunit environment after each test

[bowrocker]

Overview

Add a command-line parameter, reset_after_each_eunit=[true|false], that if true runs each eunit suite individually and employs @slfritchie logic to reset the enviroment after each one.

This was done because tests within replication were found to be polluting the environment of subsequent tests.

Configuration

Added new property to eunit_opts option list:

reset_after_each_eunit::boolean() - default = false.
If true, try to "reset" VM state to approximate state prior to
running each EUnit test:
* Stop net_kernel if it was started
* Stop OTP applications not running before EUnit tests were run
* Kill processes not running before EUnit tests were run
* Reset OTP application environment variables

Tests pass and code is readable. I'd like to see a test for this specific feature, though.

Further testing shows this may not work as expected.

rebar eunit skip_deps=true reset_after_eunit=true
ERROR: eunit failed while processing /Users/micahw/src/riak_repl: {'EXIT',{{case_clause,"true"},
         [{rebar_eunit,maybe_cleanup,2,
                       [{file,"src/rebar_eunit.erl"},{line,207}]},
          {rebar_eunit,perform_eunit,4,
                       [{file,"src/rebar_eunit.erl"},{line,426}]},
          {rebar_eunit,run_eunit,3,[{file,"src/rebar_eunit.erl"},{line,182}]},
          {rebar_core,run_modules,4,[{file,"src/rebar_core.erl"},{line,446}]},
          {rebar_core,execute,5,[{file,"src/rebar_core.erl"},{line,371}]},
          {rebar_core,process_dir1,6,[{file,"src/rebar_core.erl"},{line,235}]},
          {rebar_core,process_commands,2,
                      [{file,"src/rebar_core.erl"},{line,90}]},
          {rebar,main,1,[{file,"src/rebar.erl"},{line,58}]}]}}

A similar crash happens if reset_after_eunit is set to false.

Also, trying to set the reset_after_each_eunit to false doesn't actually work as demonstrated by the debug output:

rebar -vvv eunit skip_deps=true reset_after_each_eunit=false
DEBUG: running cleanup after each testDEBUG: running tests:rt_source_eqc with options:[verbose]

Finally, note the lack of a newline before the second DEBUG.

[lordnull]

Please put a newline in the above debug. the debug macro isn't nice enough to do one for you.

@lordnull ping, did the new commits fix your issues?

[slfritchie]

Re-ping?

[jaredmorrow]

@slfritchie @lordnull I honestly just need a +1 and I'll put this through.

I'm not an active reviewer (yet), I was dragged in by Jon. :-) I'm still catching up on a huge backlog of correspondence & to-do items from my vacation, so it's likely a couple of days before I can sneak in a review of this ticket.

Micah?

[bowrocker]

This needs a little more work to be ready -- issues were uncovered by
Micah's testing in his environment that I do not hit. I will let you all
know when it's been fixed.

Sorry for the delay.
