Integration/performance tests

Tests here are meant to be run on a box with an Observatory meta/data dump loaded and ready to be tested against the API.

The local Python needs the requirements in src/python/requirements.txt.

In order to find and access the correct database, the PGUSER, PGPASSWORD, PGHOST, PGPORT and PGDATABASE env variables should be set.

Tests should be executed as follows:

 nosetests test/autotest.py
 nosetests -s test/perftest.py
