We find that the --pastebin option to pytest sometimes fails with "HTTP
Error 400: Bad Request". We're still investigating the exact cause of
these errors, but in the meantime, a failure to upload to the pastebin
service should probably not crash pytest and cause a test failure in the
continuous-integration.
This patch catches exceptions like HTTPError that may be thrown while
trying to communicate with the pastebin service, and reports them as a
"bad response", without crashing with a backtrace or failing the entire
test suite.
`argparse.HelpFormatter` looks at `$COLUMNS` only, falling back to a
default of 80.
`py.io.get_terminal_width()` is smarter there, and could even work
better with https://github.com/pytest-dev/py/pull/219.
This ensures to use a consistent value for formatting the ini values etc.
The typing module on these versions have these issues:
- `typing.Pattern` cannot appear in a Union since it is not considered a
class.
- `@overload` is not supported in runtime. (On the other hand, mypy
doesn't support putting it under `if False`, so we need some runtime
hack).

This creates a separate section from 'features' for small changes which
don't usually require user intervention, such as:
* Human readable session duration
* New junitxml fields
* Improved colors in terminal
* etc.
The idea is to better match user expectations about new actual
features in the "Features" section of the changelog.
Previously, the test failed when the directory was not present,
which could have been caused for example by invoking the tests
with PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1.

It seems to have been added in #1439 to fix#1178.
This was only relevant for Python 2 where it was tempting to use str (==
bytes) literals instead of unicode literals. In Python 3, it is unlikely
that anyone passes bytes to these functions.
These attributes can be used to access the unchanged arguments passed
to pytest.main().
The intention is to use these attributes to initialize workers in
the same manner as the master node is initialized in pytest-xdist.
