Mypy currently is unable to handle assigning attributes on function:
https://github.com/python/mypy/issues/2087.
pytest uses this for the outcome exceptions -- `pytest.fail.Exception`,
`pytest.exit.Exception` etc, and this is the canonical name by which they
are referred.
Initially we started working around this with type: ignores, and later
by switching e.g. `pytest.fail.Exception` with the direct exception
`Failed`. But this causes a lot of churn and is not as nice. And I also
found that some code relies on it, in skipping.py:
def pytest_configure(config):
if config.option.runxfail:
# yay a hack
import pytest
old = pytest.xfail
config._cleanup.append(lambda: setattr(pytest, "xfail", old))
def nop(*args, **kwargs):
pass
nop.Exception = xfail.Exception
setattr(pytest, "xfail", nop)
...
So it seems better to support it. Use a hack to make it work. The rest
of the commit rolls back all of the workarounds we added up to now.
`pytest.raises.Exception` also exists, but it's not used much so I kept
it as-is for now.
Hopefully in the future mypy supports this and this ugliness can be
removed.
This allows for e.g. Jedi to infer types (it checks the name).
It was only used to support Python 3.5.0/3.5.1, where this is is not
available in the `typing` module.

Uses `TYPE_CHECKING = False` in `_pytest.outcomes` to avoid having to
work around circular import.
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.
Add a very lax mypy configuration, add it to tox -e linting, and
fix/ignore the few errors that come up. The idea is to get it running
before diving in too much.
This enables:
- Progressively adding type annotations and enabling more strict
options, which will improve the codebase (IMO).
- Annotating the public API in-line, and eventually exposing it to
library users who use type checkers (with a py.typed file).
Though, none of this is done yet.

Regarding tests: it merges ``test_pdb_interaction``,
``test_pdb_print_captured_stdout``, and
``test_pdb_print_captured_stderr`` into
``test_pdb_print_captured_stdout_and_stderr`` (clarity and performance,
especially since pexpect tests are slow).
