* Find unused stubtest whitelist entries
This is currently a GitHub workflow that runs daily and lists all unused
whitelist entries found by running stubtest against current Python
versions on Linux and Windows. The workflow run will succeed if there
are no such entries, and fail otherwise.
In a second step, this should collate the output of the various runs and
create a PR to remove the entries. In that case, the workflow should
probably only run weekly or even monthly to keep the noise down.
Cf. #3728
I've made mistakes in #4069 and #4010 that would have been caught by
this, so seems worth it to add now, and continue to remove from
whitelists.
Note that we run with --ignore-missing-stub in CI, so this whitelist
isn't all the changes we'd need to fully support Python 3.9

* README.md: refactor "Running the tests"
This organises the section a little better. Previously some tests were
unmentioned; it read as if mypy_test and pytype_test were the only
tests. The section is now organised by test, making it easy to keep
track of the requirements and details of each. This also makes it
easier to add documentation for stubtest.
Also mention turning on Travis CI on your fork, since that is very
useful.
* README.md: document stubtest_test.py
* stubtest_test: add it
* travis: add stubtest_test to CI
* stubtest_test: add whitelists
