IMPALA-6070: Expose using Docker to run tests faster.

Allows running the tests that make up the "core" suite in about 2 hours.
By comparison, 
https://jenkins.impala.io/job/ubuntu-16.04-from-scratch/buildTimeTrend
tends to run in about 3.5 hours.

This commit:
* Adds "echo" statements in a few places, to facilitate timing.
* Adds --skip-parallel/--skip-serial flags to run-tests.py,
  and exposes them in run-all-tests.sh.
* Adds "test-with-docker.py", which runs a full build, data load,
  and executes tests inside of Docker containers, generating
  a timeline at the end. In short, one container is used
  to do the build and data load, and then this container is
  re-used to run various tests in parallel. All logs are
  left on the host system.

Besides the obvious win of getting test results more quickly, this
commit serves as an example of how to get various bits of Impala
development working inside of Docker containers. For example, Kudu
relies on atomic rename of directories, which isn't available in most
Docker filesystems, and entrypoint.sh works around it.

In addition, the timeline generated by the build suggests where further
optimizations can be made. Most obviously, dataload eats up a precious
~30-50 minutes, on a largely idle machine.

This work is significantly CPU and memory hungry. It was developed on a
32-core, 120GB RAM Google Compute Engine machine, and I know that 75GB
of those are currently used. By and large, EC2 and GCE price machines
linearly, so, if CPU usage can be kept up, it's not wasteful to run on
bigger machines.

I've run into some fragility with the tests. Specifically,
thrift-server-test fails consistently, as it does on my development
Ubuntu 16.04 machine as well.
