base: eval is evil

* Using ast.literal_value instead of eval to parse user provided values.
  Safer and more reliable (bool("False") -> True)

* Removing the checks that the new type corresponds with the known type
  for the value.

* Adding some tests and invenio.base to the base set of packages.

* Using sets for the packages list to be tested.
