Leaving broken venvs around can, if it got as far as installing the venv/bin/letsencrypt script, wreck future le-auto runs, since the presence of that script means "a working LE is installed" to it. Waiting until a new version of le-auto comes out and running it would recover, but this lets re-running the same version recover as well.
If the new le-auto works well in the minutes or hours after release, we'll make another commit to master that removes the old le-auto and bootstrap scripts.

I didn't backport their imports, so they had NameErrors in the failure case anyway. And, because of the docker image, these tests currently are run under only 2.7 at the moment.
The motivation is to free us of a reliance on a rather modern version of setuptools, which caused le-auto failures for people on Wheezy and other older distros. (The alternative would have been to forcibly upgrade setuptools as the old le-auto did, but less is more.)
Mock is used only in tests, so we move it to tests_require. It will still be installed automatically when setup.py test is run. Give all packages a test_suite so this works.
The "testing" extra remains for optional packages not required for the nose tests but used in tox. However, the extra is much less useful now and is a candidate for deletion. We could roll the list of packages therein into the tox config so as not to favor any particular package.
Remove tests_require=install_requires, which I don't think does anything useful, since install requirements are implicitly installed when running setup.py test.
Fix tests to pass with mock removed. We had to stop them pulling down LE from PyPI, since the current version there (0.1.1) requires mock and explodes when `letsencrypt` is run.
Originally, I had it in mind to move letsencrypt-auto inside this dir. However, now we'd like to copy it or link it to the root level, where people are used to finding it (at least for awhile). Since it would be confusing to have a letsencrypt-auto and a letsencrypt_auto right next to each other, we rename this folder.
