New description:
We currently have separate single and multi-threaded Sage doctest scripts.
In particular, `sage -t ...` invokes `SAGE_ROOT/local/bin/sage-test` and
`sage -tp ...` invokes `sage-ptest`. These files share many lines of
almost functionally identical identical code. Unifying these scripts
should make it easier to maintain and extend the Sage doctest system.

Comment(by mpatel):
If the interface above (or a variation) is reasonable, we could populate
`doctest.py` with most of the non-parsing-related, non-redundant parts of
`sage-doctest` and `sage-(p)test`. To ensure that we test `doctest.py`
regularly, I suggest we put it in the sage repository, under `misc/`.
Then we'd put just the command-line parsing code in a `sage-test` in the
scripts repository. This script would `import sage.misc.doctest` and
instantiate/call a `Doctester` object to run the tests.
More keyword arguments for `Doctester`'s constructor: `timeout`,
`timeout_long`, `testdir`, and various Valgrind settings.
