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 ;)
although i'm not sure how this can fail (given that python checks this), this should test `os.path.isdir`
