Support for Python 3.7s builtin breakpoint() method.
When breakpoint() is called and PYTHONBREAKPOINT is set to the default value,
PyTest will use the Custom PDB trace UI instead of the system default Pdb.
When tests are complete, the system will default back to the system Pdb trace UI.
If --pdb is called on execution of Pytest, the custom Pdb interface is used on both
breakpoint() and failed tests/unhandled exceptions.
If --pdbcls is used, the custom class will be executed when a test fails (as expected within existing behaviour),
but also when breakpoint() is called from within a test, the custom class debugger will be instantiated.

.. _breakpoint-builtin:
Using the builtin breakpoint function
-------------------------------------
Python 3.7 introduces a builtin ``breakpoint()`` function.
Pytest supports the use of ``breakpoint()`` with the following behaviours:
- When breakpoint() is called and PYTHONBREAKPOINT is set to the default value, PyTest will use the Custom PDB trace UI instead of the system default Pdb.
- When tests are complete, the system will default back to the system Pdb trace UI.
- If --pdb is called on execution of Pytest, the custom Pdb interface is used on both
breakpoint() and failed tests/unhandled exceptions.
- If --pdbcls is used, the custom class will be executed when a test fails (as expected within existing behaviour), but also when breakpoint() is called from within a test, the custom class debugger will be instantiated.
