[PATCH] Speedup the python tests

Hi,

as discussed on IRC, I worked on a patch to improve the performance of the
python tests. Attached patch implements two changes:
1. replace the svnadmin dump|svnadmin load method to create the greek
repository with a plain treecopy. This only when testing fsfs and when the
test doesn't require a new UUID for the repo.
2. replace the checkout of the working copy per test with a checkout once
per file (eg. commit_tests.py) + a copy of that wc to the sandbox + a switch
--relocate of the copied wc.

All in all, I see on my Mac an improvement of 20% (run completely of a RAM
disk):
make check: from 24'34s to 19'31s
make svncheck: from 26'21s to 21'52s

I'd like to commit it, but want a second opinion first.

regards,

Lieven.
