Title: Make tests.helper utilties configurable for affiliated packages

This is one option for making the astropy test helpers usable with affiliated packages, as discussed in astropy/package-template#1. The utilities in `tests.helper` are made generic and the package specific setup occurs in a couple lines in `astropy/__init__.py`, which can easily be duplicated in astropy/package-template.

@astrofrog may want to try checking out f27f696897009e191d5bf05d2daeb1ebfec64dff and running the tests in his package-template fork.
