Motivation for this change
Fix #106558. Alternative solution to #106464.
The issue with the
psautohint
test suite was the update to pytest 6.The proposed solution is to default to pytest 5 and to disable the offending
test if the package is overriden to use pytest 6.
See https://github.com/adobe-type-tools/psautohint/issues/284#issuecomment-742800965
for the explanation and upstream issue.
