- made IprCluster target host work. This target host provides access to intel ifort and intel mkl packages, which are available as environment modules.
- added a unit test that validates the IprCluster (only works on ipr cluster node)
- also improved unit tests to use TMPDIR environment variable if present, in order to avoid permission issues in case the test is run by different users on the same system.
- made the benchmark display an error in case starbench fails

- the user can now choose the host type id. This mechanism will allow the benchmarks to be run on ipr cluster nodes, taking advantage of the specific use of environment modules to discover and activate packages.
- note: at the moment, the implementation of host type fr.univ-rennes.ipr.cluster-node is not yet finished

- added a the blas_library parameter to mamul1, for this:
- added support for the `default-<packagetype>` keyword as package_id, which makes the parameter system to find the blas flavour of the default blas.
- made the package default version retrieval more generic (replaces a gfortran specific code).
warning: these discovery mechanisms have only been implemented for debian hosts at the moment.

- split tests into 3:
- test_benchmarks.py: tests all benchmarks with the most basic resultsdb backend
- test_resultsdb: tests all resultsdb backends with the most basic benchmark
- test_clusterbench: tests clusterbench_submit
- made tests more robust (deletes the results foder if it already exists)
