This is especially useful for large repositories (e.g. monorepos) that
use a hierarchical file system organization for nested test paths.
src/*/tests
The implementation uses the standard `glob` module to perform wildcard
expansion in Config.parse().
The related logic that determines whether or not to include 'testpaths'
in the terminal header was previously relying on a weak heuristic: if
Config.args matched 'testpaths', then its value was printed. That
generally worked, but it could also print when the user explicitly used
the same arguments on the command-line as listed in 'testpaths'. Not a
big deal, but it shows that the check was logically incorrect.
Now that 'testpaths' can contain wildcards, it's no longer possible to
perform this simple comparison, so this change also introduces a public
Config.ArgSource enum and Config.args_source attribute that explicitly
names the "source" of the arguments: the command line, the invocation
directory, or the 'testdata' configuration value.
This changes the order to:
- API Reference
- Fixtures reference
- Configuration
- Exit codes
- Plugin List
which is approximately sorted from general to specific and often used to less used.
Plugin List ist at the end because it points to further external resources.
This extensive explanation is not need anymore because they are now
unsupported for a long time.
Instead add as short section on Python version compatibility in the
backward compatibility docs.
It's better to have the documentation in one place, instead
of having some in the docstring and some additional
information added to the reference documentation in
`reference.rst`.
Up to now, some had the prefix, some didn't. I think it's good to have
this prefix to give more context, otherwise the links sometimes blend
into the description.
In one case, the link goes to an example, so I used `**Example**:` there.

These pytester utility methods were annotated to only receive `str`
names, but they naturally support os.PathLike values, as well.
This makes writing some pytester calls a little nicer, such as when
creating a directory based on a `.joinpath()` call. We previously needed
to cast that intermediate value to a `str`.
