dev-python/subunit seems an unusual unconditional dependency given it's for testing in Python. Can this be made a conditional BDEPEND for tests? It's caused some issues for users upgrading (observed on both #gentoo and the forums [0]). [0] https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-8633293.html#8633293

Revbumping to allow users to depclean subunit itself but also a bunch of assorted Python dependencies. Also, to ensure that users upgrading without dynamic deps enabled don't get stuck on the "EAPI 8" trap discussed in the bug.
