2.5.1 - Added call_sys(_async) + tests.sh refactoring

 - Added `call_sys` function in `helpers.common`, an easier way to run and interact with external programs
 - Added `shell_quote` function - small shim for python 3.8's `shlex.join` for backwards compatibility
 - Added `call_sys_async` function in `helpers.asyncx`, which is a fully async version of `call_sys`
 - Added tests for `call_sys` and `call_sys_async`
 - Improvements to `local_tests.sh`
    - Re-factored most of `local_tests.sh` into `lib/lib_test.sh`. lib_test.sh contains only shell functions, so it can be sourced into a bash shell for debugging local_tests.sh
    - Now has a `QUIET` option, for less verbose output
    - Re-factored virtualenv creation, detection and activation into `pyactivate`, `venv_status`, `is_current_venv` and others
    - Handle script running from within an existing virtualenv cleanly.
    - Main body of the venv creation / test running has been moved into `main_tests()` in lib_test
    - Now shows a summary at the end of the tests, so you can see which python versions caused tests to throw warnings and/or were skipped
    - Lots of other small improvements
 - Added gitignore lines for `dev_*.py`, sqlite databases, and adjusted `venv` lines to only affect root folder.
