[tox] Have less test environments This is to reduce the load on CI server because of parallel clones of the repository in Docker containers. Only keep "server", and "web" environments separated. All other prior environments are in "misc". To avoid duplicate entries in requirements files, move them all in a "requirements" directory (this appears to be a "common" practice, see e.g. Celery). Adjustments in tests: * Rename cubicweb/hooks/test/unittest_notification.py so that it does not conflict with cubicweb/sobjects/test/unittest_notification.py during test discovery as they would have the same module name but different __file__ attribute. * Add "comment" cube to the list of expected cubes in unittest_cwconfig.py as this cube is pulled by requirements/test-mist.txt. Closes #15440662.

The development team is pleased to announce the 3.0.0 release of CubicWeb, also
know as ShowTime.

What is CubicWeb?
-----------------

With CubicWeb, the Semantic Web is a construction game!

CubicWeb_ is a semantic web application framework, licensed under the LGPL, that
empowers developers to efficiently build web applications by reusing components
(called cubes) and following the well known object-oriented design principles.

Its main features are:

    * an engine driven by the explicit data model of the application,
    * a query language named RQL similar to W3C’s SPARQL,
    * a selection+view mechanism for semi-automatic XHTML/XML/JSON/text generation,
    * a library of reusable components (data model and views) that fulfill common needs,
    * the power and flexibility of the Python programming language,
    * the reliability of SQL databases, LDAP directories, Subversion and Mercurial for storage backends.

Being built since 2000 by an R&D project still going on today, supporting
100,000s of daily visits at some production sites, CubicWeb is a proven end to
end solution for semantic web application development that promotes quality,
reusability and efficiency.

The unbeliever will read the quick overview_ of CubicWeb.

The hacker will join development at the forge_.

The impatient will move right away to installation_ and set-up of a CubicWeb
environment.
