Now each in-process pytest run saves a snapshot of important global Python
state and restores it after the test completes, including the list of loaded
modules & the Python path settings.
Previously only the loaded package data was getting restored, but that was
also reverting any loaded package changes done in the test triggering the
pytest runs, and not only those done by the pytest runs themselves.
Updated acceptance tests broken by this change, which were only passing before
by accident as they were making multiple pytest runs with later ones depending
on sys.path changes left behind by the initial one.
Currently if the terminal report of testdir.runpytest() is missing,
assert_outcomes() on its output fails because parseoutcomes()
returns an unexpected value (None).
It's better to fail parseoutcomes() directly.
- integrate conftest into pytester plugin
- introduce runpytest() to either call runpytest_inline (default) or
runpytest_subprocess (python -m pytest)
- move testdir.inline_runsource1 to pdb tests
- strike some unneccessary methods.
- a new section "writing plugins" and some better pytester docs

The only remaining 'py.test' references are:
* those referring to the 'py.test' executable
* those in code explicitly testing py.test/pytest module compatibility
* those in old CHANGES documentation
* those in documentation generated based on external data
* those in seemingly unfinished & unmaintained Japanese documentation
Minor stylistic changes and typo corrections made to documentation next to
several applied py.test --> pytest content changes.
On python2.x text arguments where passed through str, which meant only
ascii-encodable strings could be used. This uses
py.builting._totext() to keep unicode until it is written out to the
file, which was already UTF-8 encoded.
