[Bug 2096544] [NEW] 0.24.3 shipped with partial tests in PyPI

[Dave Jones]

Public bug reported:

The current version of pyudev in the archive (0.24.3) shipped with
several files under tests/ missing. This appears to be a combination of
a couple of factors:

* firstly a mistake in the PyPI packaging (reported upstream [1]), and

* secondly the fact the Debian package is using the PyPI archive in the
first place (grabbing an orig tar-ball from GitHub is generally
preferred for more or less this reason -- that test suites and other
things may quite reasonably be excluded from PyPI packaging)

The upstream developers advise (at [1]) that the test-suite included in
the repo should not be used in packaging, and suggests an alternate set
[2]. However, we don't run the full test-suite, merely a subset so I
think we're probably okay sticking with that. Still, we should switch
the source of the orig tar-ball to GitHub, and produce a new upload of
the current version that includes the full test-suite.
