New decorator @pytest_parametrize_plus able to handle the case where a fixture_ref(<fixture_name>) is present in the parameter values list. This decorator can be applied both on test functions and fixtures (if they are decorated with @pytest_fixture_plus). Fixes #40

Major refactoring of the "union fixtures" mechanism.

  • The NOT_USED status is now correctly propagated between dependent fixtures. This should fix a few cases where user fixtures were setup/teardown while not used in the current test node.
  • Empty fixture unions are not permitted anymore.
  • The way unions are handled in test parametrization was redesigned. The new design is based on a two-steps approach: first build the fixture closure for each node as a tree (and not a list as in pytest), and then apply parametrization intelligently based on this tree structure. This fixes several unintuitive behaviours that were happening with unions.

Note: interestingly this also fixes pytest#5054.
