`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]`.

A new plugin has this summary:
Continiously runs pytest on changes in *.py files
The `*` is interpreted as a special character and fails the CI.
Add some rudimentary escaping to hopefully prevent this.
The projects page unfortunately contains a lot of old projects, and some information there appears to be stale.
It was created at a time pytest was starting to be used, but seems pointless now as pytest is the most popular testing framework, so listing a few dozen projects which use it seems pointless.
Rather than updating it, I think we should remove it because this has the chance to become stale again soon, and not sure how valuable it is anyway.
The PDF documentation on readthedocs was missing the figures in the
fixtures reference chapter. This PR uses a Sphinx plugin that
automatically converts the checked-in SVG files to the PDF input files
that LaTeX requires.
The SVG-to-PDF conversion is done by inkscape, which gave the best
conversion among the tools I tried. However, it [does not yet
understand][href-bug] that you can write a plain `href` instead of
`xlink:href` in svg files, so I’ve had to edit the SVG files
accordingly.
