add avail_subclasses function + unit test

ported from `avail_easyblocks` method in `easybuild/tools/options.py`, required for https://github.ugent.be/hpcugent/easytest/pull/1

let's see what @stdweird has to say about this one, because I'm fairly sure he's the original author ;)
also, shouldn't we allow `__init__`? it's ok for the usage below (since the namespace is/was imported), but maybe not in general?
