Switch Tempest CLI commands from testrepository to stestr

This commit switches the Tempest CLI commands to internally use stestr
instead of testrepository. At this point in time the testrepository
project is effectively unmaintained and stestr was a fork started to
have an actively maintained test runner. It also focuses on being a
dedicated python test runner, instead of an abstract test runner
interface for any tests that emit subunit.

Besides the bug fixes and other improvements included with stestr, this
switch provides a number of advantages for tempest. Primarily stestr has
a real python API for invoking the test runner directly from python. This
means we can simplify the wrapper code to simply call a function instead
of building out a set of CLI arguments and passing that to the CLI
processor.

+features:
+- The Tempest CLI commands have switched from calling testrepository internally
+  to use stestr instead. This means that all of the features and bug fixes from
+  moving to stestr are available to the tempest commands.
+
+upgrade:
+- Tempest CLI commands will no long rely on anything from testr. This means any
+  data in existing testr internals that were being exposed are no longer
+  present. For example things like the .testr directories will be silently
+  ignored. There is a potential incompatibility for existing users who are
+  relying on test results being stored by testr. Anything relying on previous
+  testr behavior will need to be updated to handle stestr.
