[Twisted-Python] Automatically get dependencies in Buildbot

[Adi Roiban]

Hi,

What do you say if Twisted buildbot would  be change to automatically
update dependencies before each test?

I have pushed some code here
https://github.com/twisted-infra/twisted-buildbot-configuration/pull/7 just
to start the conversation.

In this way, it  should be much easier to add new dependencies or to update
current dependencies... For example the patch from #7066 can not be tested
on current infrastructure.

I think the GitHub review is a better place to discuss this.

I have used a similar approach on my project which depends on about 100
packages (runtime, buildtime, ex sphinx and testing) and the whole step
takes 2 seconds (Unix/Linux/Windows) with a local cache and a local network
PyPi mirror (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pypiserver)
With fixed version in dependencies, I never got any trouble.

Cheers
