Ran Benita 9cd14b4ffb doctest: fix autouse fixtures possibly not getting picked up
Fix #11929.

Figured out what's going on. We have the following collection tree:

```
<Dir pyspacewar>
  <Dir src>
    <Package pyspacewar>
      <Package tests>
        <DoctestModule test_main.py>
          <DoctestItem pyspacewar.tests.test_main.doctest_main>
```

And the `test_main.py` contains an autouse fixture (`fake_game_ui`) that
`doctest_main` needs in order to run properly. The fixture doesn't run!
It doesn't run because nothing collects the fixtures from (calls
`parsefactories()` on) the `test_main.py` `DoctestModule`.

How come it only started happening with commit
ab63ebb3dc07b89670b96ae97044f48406c44fa0? Turns out it mostly only
worked accidentally. Each `DoctestModule` is also collected as a normal
`Module`, with the `Module` collected after the `DoctestModule`. For
example, if we add a non-doctest test to `test_main.py`, the collection
tree looks like this:

```
<Dir pyspacewar>
  <Dir src>
    <Package pyspacewar>
      <Package tests>
        <DoctestModule test_main.py>
          <DoctestItem pyspacewar.tests.test_main.doctest_main>
        <Module test_main.py>
          <Function test_it>
```

Now, `Module` *does* collect fixtures. When autouse fixtures are
collected, they are added to the `_nodeid_autousenames` dict.

Before ab63ebb3dc, `DoctestItem` consults
`_nodeid_autousenames` at *setup* time. At this point, the `Module` has
collected and so it ended up picking the autouse fixture (this relies on
another "accident", that the `DoctestModule` and `Module` have the same
node ID).

After ab63ebb3dc, `DoctestItem` consults
`_nodeid_autousenames` at *collection* time (= when it's created). At
this point, the `Module` hasn't collected yet, so the autouse fixture is
not picked out.

The fix is simple -- have `DoctestModule.collect()` call
`parsefactories`. From some testing I've done it shouldn't have negative
consequences (I hope).

README.rst

This directory contains "newsfragments" which are short files that contain a small **ReST**-formatted
text that will be added to the next ``CHANGELOG``.

The ``CHANGELOG`` will be read by **users**, so this description should be aimed to pytest users
instead of describing internal changes which are only relevant to the developers.

Make sure to use full sentences in the **past or present tense** and use punctuation, examples::

    Improved verbose diff output with sequences.

    Terminal summary statistics now use multiple colors.

Each file should be named like ``<ISSUE>.<TYPE>.rst``, where
``<ISSUE>`` is an issue number, and ``<TYPE>`` is one of:

* ``feature``: new user facing features, like new command-line options and new behavior.
* ``improvement``: improvement of existing functionality, usually without requiring user intervention (for example, new fields being written in ``--junit-xml``, improved colors in terminal, etc).
* ``bugfix``: fixes a bug.
* ``doc``: documentation improvement, like rewording an entire session or adding missing docs.
* ``deprecation``: feature deprecation.
* ``breaking``: a change which may break existing suites, such as feature removal or behavior change.
* ``vendor``: changes in packages vendored in pytest.
* ``trivial``: fixing a small typo or internal change that might be noteworthy.

So for example: ``123.feature.rst``, ``456.bugfix.rst``.

If your PR fixes an issue, use that number here. If there is no issue,
then after you submit the PR and get the PR number you can add a
changelog using that instead.

If you are not sure what issue type to use, don't hesitate to ask in your PR.

``towncrier`` preserves multiple paragraphs and formatting (code blocks, lists, and so on), but for entries
other than ``features`` it is usually better to stick to a single paragraph to keep it concise.

You can also run ``tox -e docs`` to build the documentation
with the draft changelog (``doc/en/_build/html/changelog.html``) if you want to get a preview of how your change will look in the final release notes.
