ENH: testing: add SkipTest and KnownFailureException
* use SkipTest in numpy tests instead of importing it from nose * add a KnownFailureException as an alias for KnownFailureTest (the former is preferred, but the latter is kept for backcompat) * rename the KnownFailure nose plugin into KnownFailurePlugin, and keep the old name for backcompat
