avocado.main(): avoid an infinite fork loop bomb
Because the current implementation of avocado.main() creates a job and runs "sys.argv[0]" to implement standalone mode, it ends up running itself over and over. This simple proposed fix, prevents avocado.main() from running itself again if called from itself. Since they are on different processes, the mechanism chosen to do this is to set an environment variable, that will be seen by the next process. Also, by exiting from main() with an error code, the test first level test will fail. This will let the user know that the chosen approach (SIMPLE tests written in Python and calling main()) are not worthy of a PASS. This adresses issue avocado-framework#961.
