Some ports require using Python for their test suite even if the port is not for a Python module. This patch adds support for an optional argument `test` for use within the `USES` property with `python.mk` (eg `python:3.2+,test`) that the relevant content to the `TEST_DEPENDS` property to use the correct version of Python during testing.

This patch adds support for the test argument to be used in the USES clause, such as python:3.2+,test. This enables the relevant Python environment and modifies TEST_DEPENDS as necessary. For non-Python ports that use Python as their testing suite, add python:<ver>,test as required to the USES clause.
