Deprecate run_tests.sh

We support tox for testing.
We don't maintain anything else.
In the Pike release we will remove the script.

-
-    source .venv/bin/activate
-    pip install nose2
-    nose2

-There are disadvantages to running nose2 - the tests are run sequentially, so
-race condition bugs will not be triggered, and the full test suite will
-take significantly longer than tox & testr. The upside is that testr has
-some rough edges when it comes to diagnosing errors and failures, and there is
-no easy way to set a breakpoint in the Neutron code, and enter an
-interactive debugging session while using testr.
-
-Note that nose2's predecessor, `nose`_, does not understand
-`load_tests protocol`_ introduced in Python 2.7. This limitation will result in
-errors being reported for modules that depend on load_tests
-(usually due to use of `testscenarios`_). nose, therefore, is not supported,
-while nose2 is.
