Updating Bigtable stub creation to work with emulator.

[dhermes]

System test will be updated soon, once some issues with the emulator are worked out.

---

Message was previously:

Currently does not work as-is since most of the methods (most notable row.commit()) result in UNAVAILABLE from the backend.

---

Towards #2242.

/cc @garye Could you check out this branch and run tox -e bigtable-emulator to see the failures?

NOTE: Has #2245 as diffbase.

[garye]

I'll take a look

[dhermes]

Thanks!

[dhermes]

@garye I should note that only the last commit is germane to this PR, the rest are for the two diffbase PRs.

@garye I have found the start of a culprit. Some operations accidentally kill the server, causing all subsequent operations to fail. Also the example stack trace refers to a path not on my machine (/usr/local/google/home/garyelliott)

@dhermes needs rebasing.

PEP8 failure

[tseaver]

Would it be simpler to wrap the instance admin / table admin testsuite classes in @unittest.skipIf(IN_EMULATOR)?

[dhermes]

Would it be simpler to wrap the instance admin / table admin testsuite classes in @unittest.skipIf(IN_EMULATOR)?

The problem is that IN_EMULATOR is not known at import time, since setting the env. var. happens in Python (via run_emulator.py).

FWIW the AppVeyor check has been deleted (was created when messing around trying to create https://ci.appveyor.com/project/GoogleCloudPlatform/google-cloud-python/)

@tseaver PTAL
