This is especially useful for large repositories (e.g. monorepos) that
use a hierarchical file system organization for nested test paths.

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.
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`.
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`.
The left/right operands produced when `verbose > 1` should not contain newlines, because they are used to
build the `summary` string. The `assertrepr_compare` function returns a list of lines, and the summary is one of those lines and should not contain newlines itself.

The change from `path not in confuctdir.parents` to the `relative_to`
check in 0c98f19231 broke picking up
conftest files when running against an installed package/site-packages.
See the issue for more details.
Fix#9767.
Including the file name is enough to let the user know what the problem is.
The same is not needed for `.ini` files because the error message includes the path to the file by default.
Fix#9730
It is tempting to use `monkeypatch` to replace the other mechanisms in pytester which change global
state: `CwdSnapshot`, `SysModulesSnapshot`, `SysPathsSnapshot`, however those are more delicate
than they look at first glance so leaving those alone for now.
Close#9708
