Use 'rcN' for release candidate versions in tests

Potential fix for https://github.com/buildout/buildout/issues/217

If setuptools is installed globally by easy_install then the easy_install.pth gets added to sys.path before PYTHONPATH and the wrong setuptools version is used.

Recent setuptools versions changed the canonical spelling of release
candidate versions from 'cN' to 'rcN'.  Using the older spelling causes
a UserWarning about the version requiring normalization, and test
failures where the expected output contains a different (normalized)
version number.

For the record, the UserWarning looks like this:

/home/mg/src/buildout/eggs/setuptools-11.3.1-py2.7.egg/setuptools/dist.py:283:
UserWarning: The version specified requires normalization, consider
using '1.2rc1' instead of '1.2c1'.

and the failures can be seen at

Don't assume pkg_resources is a module.

In setuptools < 8.3 pkg_resources.py was a module, so

    import pkg_resources
    print(pkg_resources.__file__)

would print something like

    /home/mg/src/buildout/eggs/setuptools-8.0.4-py2.7.egg/pkg_resources.py

Starting from setuptools 8.3 pkg_resources became a package, so the
above code prints

    /home/mg/src/buildout/eggs/setuptools-11.3.1-py2.7.egg/pkg_resources/__init__.py

which means a single os.path.dirname() is no longer sufficient to find
the location of the .egg file/directory.

I'm pretty sure 'setuptools' itself was always a package, so use two
os.path.dirname()s on setuptools.__file__ to find the .egg location more
reliably with both old and new setuptools versions.

Fixes https://github.com/buildout/buildout/issues/227

If setuptools is installed globally by easy_install then the easy_install.pth gets added to sys.path before PYTHONPATH and the wrong setuptools version is used.

  version-range requirements in a way that caused it to think there
  wasn't a single-version requirement.  IOW, buildout throught that
  versions were being picked when they weren't.

Should have been removed in a previous commit.

On Windows, `sys.prefix` is a site-package directory, i.e. for a
standard installation `C:\Python27`. The code path for `not
allow_site_packages` removed *everything* from `sys.path` that contains
*any* of the the site-packages directories as reported by
 `site.getsitepackages`, which on Windows removes all pathes below
 `sys.prefix` from `sys.path`.
