pytest has several instances where plugins set their own attributes on
objects they receive in hooks, like nodes and config. Since plugins are
detached from these object's definition by design, this causes a problem
for type checking because these attributes are not defined and mypy
complains.
Fix this by giving these objects a "store" which can be used by plugins
in a type-safe manner.
Currently this mechanism is private. We can consider exposing it at a
later point.
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.
