tests: bump pytest version requirement to allow 3.x

pytest is an active project, since our previous requirement setting there
have been many releases, with new features and bug fixes.

One of the improvements in pytest-3.0 is that 'yield_fixture' (a fixture
that can embed cleanup code after a yield) is no longer different than
'fixture', i.e. a standard fixture supports the yield cleanup mechanism. We
will switch to use that when we make 3.0 mandatory.

Debugging Kallithea
===================

If you encounter problems with Kallithea, here are some instructions
on how to debug them.

.. note:: First make sure you're using the latest version available.


Enable detailed debug
---------------------

Kallithea uses the standard Python ``logging`` module to log its output.
By default only loggers with ``INFO`` level are displayed. To enable full output
change ``level = DEBUG`` for all logging handlers in the currently used .ini file.
This change will allow you to see much more detailed output in the log file or
console. This generally helps a lot to track issues.


Enable interactive debug mode
-----------------------------

To enable interactive debug mode simply comment out ``set debug = false`` in
the .ini file. This will trigger an interactive debugger each time
there is an error in the browser, or send a http link if an error occurred in the backend. This
is a great tool for fast debugging as you get a handy Python console right
in the web view.

.. warning:: NEVER ENABLE THIS ON PRODUCTION! The interactive console
             can be a serious security threat to your system.
