Group Travis CI jobs in stages (#5104)

- This should speed-up Travis CI tests and refers to #5049

- Travis uses build-stages to group tests together
    - The idea is to let fast tests fail first, then move to longer ones.
    - Added external perl to avoid download failure from CPAN and reduce build time
    - Disabling perl-dbi: continues to fail with (504 Gateway Time-out) on Travis

- We now cover all the build systems in tests:
    - Add back `openblas` to Travis as a separate package.
    - Switched `openblas` for `astyle` to build a simpler MakefilePackage.
    - Added 'tut' (WafPackage)
    - Added 'py-setuptools' (PythonPackage)
    - Added 'perl-dbi' (PerlPackage)
    - Added 'build_systems' directory to the ones for which we get a summary
    - Added 'openjpeg' (CMakePackage)
    - Added 'r-rcpp' (RPackage)
    - Added comments to build tests to show the covered build system
