Stop using symlinks for EndToEndTests

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Synoptic uses symlinks from the traces/EndToEndTests/ directory to simplify 
testing. Unfortunately, hg does not properly create symlinks on windows (they 
appear as text files containing the linked-to location). This prevents the test 
suite from passing on Windows in a new clone.

We need to do a couple of things to resolve this:

1. Change Synoptic code to not depend on EndToEndTests.
2. Remove the EndToEndTests directory (and all of the contained symlinks) from 
the repo
3. Double check that removing this directory did not break other Synoptic or 
InvariMint tests.

One more thing remaining to be done for this is to standardize behavior of the 
.dtrace file creation/deletion. These files are create on Windows under 
synoptic/ and remain there. On Linux/Mac these files are either not created or 
are created and then deleted.

Standardizing the behavior of the .dtrace file creation/deletion has become its 
own separate issue now. Please see Issue 366 for more details
