Django runtests.py should work without configuring DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE

[Eric Holscher]

Allowing people to simply cd into django/tests and execute runtests.py and have it work out of the box makes a lot of sense. It will allow tests to be run easier.

Note that I mean that database options should be able to be defined on the command line, or default to Sqlite. Brian Rosner wrote some code for normal Django apps that accomplishes this: ​http://github.com/ericholscher/django-test-utils/blob/9b2b869940451ceb67166bc4ebb88a112b5dda87/test_utils/bin/django_test_runner.py

Something along those lines would make it really easy to get up and running, and people who wanted to test against another DB could define it on the command line, or add a settings file.

Defaulting to SQLite only really makes sense once we require 2.5, since that's the first version where we can assume SQLite.
