run_tests: add a helper for invoking unittests

This makes it very easy for people to run all our unittests with just
`./run_tests`.  There doesn't seem to be any other way currently to
quickly invoke any of the tests.

 If there are many occurrences of the same warning that cannot be

 suppressed in the included `.flake8` file.

+## Running tests
+
+There is a [`./run_tests`](./run_tests) helper script for quickly invoking all
+of our unittests.  The coverage isn't great currently, but it should still be
+run for all commits.
+
+Adding more unittests for changes you make would be greatly appreciated :).
+Check out the [tests/](./tests/) subdirectory for more details.
