`reportinfo()` is the last remaining py.path-only code path in pytest,
i.e. the last piece holding back py.path deprecation. The problem with
it is that plugins/users use it from both sides -- implementing it
(returning the value) and using it (using the return value). Dealing
with implementers is easy enough -- allow to return `os.PathLike[str]`.
But for callers who expect strictly `py.path` this will break and
there's not really a good way to provide backward compat for this.
From analyzing a corpus of 680 pytest plugins, the vast majority of
`reportinfo` appearances are implementations, and the few callers don't
actually access the path part of the return tuple.
As for test suites that might access `reportinfo` (e.g. using
`request.node.reportinfo()` or other ways), that is much harder to
survey, but from the ones I searched, I only found case
(`pytest_teamcity`, but even then it uses `str(fspath)` so is unlikely
to be affected in practice). They are better served with using
`node.location` or `node.path` directly.
Therefore, just break it and change the return type to
`str|os.PathLike[str]`.

This type is semi-private; not documented but many plugins access it
through `item.callspec`. However, plugins access the public fields and
almost none try to construct or monkeypatch it. So we should be allowed
to clean it up some.
- Convert to attrs, add slots and frozen
- Instead of doing `new = old.copy(); new.setmulti2()`, do `new =
old.setmulti()`. This is cleaner and faster.
- Remove the `metafunc` attribute. This causes a reference cycle
(multifunc._calls -> callspec -> multifunc) for no good reason --
neither pytest itself or plugins access this attribute, so let's not
keep the Metafunc objects alive past their due.
- Some comments.
I would have also like to make the dicts and lists themselves immutable,
however some plugins mess with those so that should be done separately,
if at all.
Now that it's no longer using `@lru_cache`, use another check to avoid
re-computation. Although `@lru_cache` is faster than the full function
call + checks, this approach also has the advantage that the caching
works for more than 128 entries.

Some of the top search-engine hits for pytest.approx use the function without actually comparing it to anything.
This PR will cause these tests to fail by implementing approx.__bool__() to raise an AssertionError that briefly explains how to correctly use approx.
* expose `warnings=` to pytester `assert_outcomes()`
* fix test fallout from adding warnings= to assert_outcomes()
* #closes 8593 - Improve test and add a `changelog` entry for the change
