In current pytest, the same expression is matched against all items. But
it is re-parsed for every match.
Add support for "compiling" an expression and reusing the result. Errors
may only occur during compilation.
This is done by parsing the expression into a Python `ast.Expression`,
then `compile()`ing it into a code object. Evaluation is then done using
`eval()`.
Note: historically we used to use `eval` directly on the user input --
this is not the case here, the expression is entirely under our control
according to our grammar, we just JIT-compile it to Python as a
(completely safe) optimization.
Previously, the expressions given to the `-m` and `-k` options were
evaluated with `eval`. This causes a few issues:
- Python keywords cannot be used.
- Constants like numbers, None, True, False are not handled correctly.
- Various syntax like numeric operators and `X if Y else Z` is supported
unintentionally.
- `eval()` is somewhat dangerous for arbitrary input.
- Can fail in many ways so requires `except Exception`.
The format we want to support is quite simple, so change to a custom
parser. This fixes the issues above, and gives us full control of the
format, so can be documented comprehensively and even be extended in the
future if we wish.
