remove/conditionalize "shutilwhich" dependency

Description
Somewhere in the 1.12 development cycle, _auto_deps.py acquired an unconditional dependency upon a package named shutilwhich. This impacts downstream packagers (i.e. it isn't in Debian yet). Looking at the code, it seems that shutilwhich is only used by the integration tests, and thus should probably be moved into the [test] clause of setup.py's extras_require=. That would let non-testing downstream packages omit the dependency.

oh, let's leave this open (but pushed out of the 1.12.1 milestone), to get that shutilwhich replaced by a normal twisted procutils.which (which we're already using in allmydata.util.iputil to find ifconfig-like programs).

I'll point this ticket at meejah, as he wrote integration/conftest.py that uses it

In 805be64/trunk:
Twisted has a which() in twisted.python.procutils that could be used in place of shutilwhich (though it returns a list of filepaths):

For simplicity's sake, it might be better to just use that instead.
