Sorry, ignore the part about all new SB API tests go in
lldb/test/command-api.  I meant to say python-api, and also this doesn't
need to be all new tests.  This is only the eventual goal (as described
below), so new SB API tests could continue to go where they do normally
(test/functionalities for example), and one day in the future when there
are no more HandleCommand tests in any of these folders, we can create the
python-api top level directory and move everything under there.
