Move ``quicktest`` to ``tools/dev``
The quicktest tool has not been substantively modified since 2006. It may still be useful for generating test-cases, so move it to the developer tools section and do not advertise it as a front-end tool. Update documentation where relevant to remove mention of quicktest as a front-end tool, and remove obsolete "EasyDialogs" code path. git-svn-id: https://svn.code.sf.net/p/docutils/code/trunk@9201 929543f6-e4f2-0310-98a6-ba3bd3dd1d04

-The ``quicktest.py`` tool is used for testing the reStructuredText
-parser. It does not use a Docutils Reader or Writer or the standard
-Docutils command-line options. Rather, it does its own I/O and calls
-the parser directly. No transforms are applied to the parsed

-
---pretty Pretty-printed pseudo-XML (default)

---test Test data (Python list of input and pseudo-XML output strings;

---rawxml Raw native XML (with or without a stylesheet reference)
---help Usage hint and complete list of supported options.
