Summary: DbTestFixture.setupClass reads `cls._DB_DUMP_LIST`, which is set by `cls.add_db`, so `cls.add_db` should be called by the child's `setupClass` beforehand

... and make flake8 happy that way

The repr format of datetime.timedeltas has changed in Python 3.7, and the
construct is very unsafe anyway.

used to initialise a database for a given (swh) module, like:

  swh-db-init storage

based on sql files shipped within the python package. This require several
small refactorings of SingleDbTestFixture.setUpClass and .add_db() methods:

- replace the 2 arguments (dump, dump_type) by a single 'dumps' one; this later
  must be an iterable of couples (dump_file, dump_type)
- refactor all needed helper functions accordingly.

We also add a small helper function to sort numerical file names, and provide a
DB_DUMP_TYPES as a global variable to prepare the next commit in which a new
cli tool 'swh-db-init' is added.

server is not required (nor used) when unit tests are spawn with tox.

Also add .tox in gitignore.

Summary:
when ON_ERROR_STOP is not set, dumps can restore even if there's a
syntax error. That's not really a sensible thing to do.

Also add --no-psqlrc because my psqlrc has stuff in it that makes psql noisy in
batch mode (\timing).

Test Plan:
Run the swh-vault tests, which are the only ones to use this fixture
in this mode
