Description

Hey folks,

I've been maintaining some parts of the Azure SDK for Python in Fedora. One issue with many of the packages is that they use test components from [azure-sdk-tools](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/tree/321370a7c625eb3c61d0ae849cea1ad5e836c1a8/eng/tools/azure-sdk-tools).

The problem is that it's no longer published to PyPI, nor is it tagged as far as I can tell. Additionally, it mixes in a bunch of test utilities with maintainer utilities (again, as far as I can tell).

Fedora runs the package test suite as part of packaging. This is important because it regularly integrates the latest version of Python and as a result consistently hits (and fixes) many backwards incompatible changes and the test suites help with that.

It would make my life significantly easier if the test utilities were in a package that was versioned, published to PyPI, and didn't mix in other developer utilities.
