Tracking #879.
The directions of signals in `Pin` make it convenient to use a pin
signature in a component, such as in:
class LEDDriver(Component):
pins: Out(Signature({"o": Out(1)}))
led_driver = LEDDriver()
connect(led_driver.pins, platform.request("led"))
The `platform.request` call, correspondingly, returns a flipped `Pin`
object.
Compared to tests in the repository root, tests in the package have
many downsides:
* Unless explicitly excluded in find_packages(), tests and their
support code effectively become a part of public API.
This, unfortunately, happened with FHDLTestCase, which was never
intended for downstream use.
* Even if explicitly excluded from the setuptools package, using
an editable install, or setting PYTHONPATH still allows accessing
the tests.
* Having a sub-package that is present in the source tree but not
exported (or, worse, exported only sometimes) is confusing.
* The name `nmigen.test` cannot be used for anything else, such as
testing utilities that *are* intended for downstream use.
