In pytester tests, pytest stashes & restores the sys.modules for each
test. So if the test imports a new module, it is initialized anew each
time.
Turns out the readline module isn't multi-init safe, which causes
pytester.spawn to crash or hang. So preserve it as a workaround.
It turns out all autouse fixtures are kept in a global list, and thinned
out for a particular node using a linear scan of the entire list each
time.
Change the list to a dict, and only take the nodes we need.
ischildnode can be quite hot in some cases involving many fixtures.
However it is always used in a way that the nodeid is constant and the
baseid is iterated. So we can save work by pre-computing the parents of
the nodeid and use a simple containment test.
The `_getautousenames` function has the same stuff open-coded, so change
it to use the new function as well.
Since commit 0f918b1a9d pytest uses auto-generated autouse
pytest fixtures for the xunit fixtures
{setup,teardown}_{module,class,method,function}. All of these fixtures
were given the same name.
Unfortunately, pytest fixture lookup for a name works by grabbing all of
the fixtures globally declared with a name and filtering to only those
which match the specific node. So each xunit-using item iterates over a
list (of fixturedefs) of a size of all previous same-xunit-using items,
i.e. quadratic.
Fixing this properly to use a better data structure is likely to take
some effort, but we can avoid the immediate problem by just using
a different name for each item's autouse fixture, so it only matches
itself.
A benchmark is added to demonstrate the issue. It is still way too slow
after the fix and possibly still quadratic, but for a different reason
which is another matter.

--lf has an optimization where it skips collecting Modules (python
files) which don't contain failing tests. The optimization works by
getting the paths of all cached failed tests and skipping the collection
of Modules whose path is not included in that list.
In pytest, Package nodes are Module nodes with the fspath being the file
`<package dir>/__init__.py`. Since it's a Module the logic above
triggered for it, and because it's an `__init__.py` file which is
unlikely to have any failing tests in it, it is skipped, which causes
its entire directory to be skipped, including any Modules inside it with
failing tests.
Fix by special-casing Packages to never filter. This means entire
Packages are never filtered, the Modules themselves are always checked.
It is reasonable to consider an optimization which does filter entire
packages bases on parent paths etc. but this wouldn't actually save any
real work so is really not worth it.
