Closes#7480.
This allows us to more easily follow our deprecation policy of turning
warnings into errors for the X.0 releases before complete removal in
X.1.
It also makes the deprecation timeline clear to both the users and
pytest developers -- it can be hard to keep track.
Note that the designation is not meant to be a binding contract - if the
time comes for removal of a specific deprecation but we decide it's too
soon, can just bump it to the next major.

* Remove changelog entry for #8251
Reverted in #8903
* Move #9202 changelog to to trivial
This won't concern users of pytest
* Streamline deprecation changelogs/docs
* Remove #8994 changelog
This is an impovement for a warning introduced in this release, so including it in a changelog against the last release seems confusing.
* Remove #9241 changelog
This is an impovement for a doc update introduced in this release, so including it in a changelog against the last release seems confusing. The issue number also seems about something different.
* Remove #8897 changelog

* Various minor changelog fixes
* porting pytest.skip() to use reason=, adding tests
* avoid adding **kwargs, it breaks other functionality, use optional msg= instead
* deprecation of `pytest.fail(msg=...)`
* fix bug with not capturing the returned reason value
* pass reason= in acceptance async tests instead of msg=
* finalising deprecations of `msg` in `pytest.skip()` and `pytest.fail()`
* Update doc/en/deprecations.rst

The current PDF docs attempt to format the list of all plugins as a
table, without any word-wrapping of the plugin description. That results
in almost all the information getting cut off. This PR formats the same
information into more of a paragraph format for the PDF, with nothing
cut off.
Fixes#451
This is unfortunately a dependency on `py.path` which cannot be moved to
an external plugins or eased in any way, so has to be deprecated in
order for pytest to be able to eventually remove the dependency on `py`.
Export `HookRecorder`, `RecordedHookCall` (originally `ParsedCall`),
`RunResult`, `LineMatcher`.
These types are reachable through `Pytester` and so should be public
themselves for typing and other purposes.
The name `ParsedCall` I think is too generic under the `pytest`
namespace, so rename it to `RecordedHookCall`.
The `HookRecorder`'s constructor is made private -- it should only be
constructed by `Pytester`.
`LineMatcher` and `RunResult` are exported as is - no private and no
rename, since they're being used.
All of the classes are made final as they are not designed for
subclassing.
`reportinfo()` is the last remaining py.path-only code path in pytest,
i.e. the last piece holding back py.path deprecation. The problem with
it is that plugins/users use it from both sides -- implementing it
(returning the value) and using it (using the return value). Dealing
with implementers is easy enough -- allow to return `os.PathLike[str]`.
But for callers who expect strictly `py.path` this will break and
there's not really a good way to provide backward compat for this.
From analyzing a corpus of 680 pytest plugins, the vast majority of
`reportinfo` appearances are implementations, and the few callers don't
actually access the path part of the return tuple.
As for test suites that might access `reportinfo` (e.g. using
`request.node.reportinfo()` or other ways), that is much harder to
survey, but from the ones I searched, I only found case
(`pytest_teamcity`, but even then it uses `str(fspath)` so is unlikely
to be affected in practice). They are better served with using
`node.location` or `node.path` directly.
Therefore, just break it and change the return type to
`str|os.PathLike[str]`.
