Packagers can run unit tests in-tree. And that's a usual way
how packagers run unit tests.

e.g.
```
    PYTHONPATH=$PWD/ \
      $PYTHON ./ipatests/ipa-run-tests -vvv --tb=native \
                  $PWD/ipatests/test_ipaclient/ \
                  $PWD/ipatests/test_ipalib \
                  $PWD/ipatests/test_ipapython \
                  $PWD/ipatests/test_util.py \
                  $PWD/ipatests/util.py
```

Tox is a special case.
Therefore installation of tests is disabled for `--disable-server`
But for tox it is possible to overrride it.
e.g. `./configure --disable-server --with-tests`
