[doc] link to current documentation, not old cubicweb.org doc

Explicitly require repoze.lru for Pyramid tests This used to be pulled by pyramid but the dependency got dropped in pyramid version 1.10, see: https://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid/en/latest/whatsnew-1.10.html#backward-incompatibilities We already have an explicit dependency in setup.py, but it was missing for tests. Perhaps we could simply use '.[pyramid]' in this requirements file? Not sure what side effect it'd have though...

[doc] new behavior in virtualenv since 3.26

[skeleton] use python3 flake8 In tox "flake8" environment, use python 3 virtualenv, so we can check for python3 incompatible syntax.

[skeleton] drop whitelist_externals for flake8 whitelist_externals makes sense when used with sitepackages=true. In this case it will always rely on $VIRTUAL_ENV/bin/flake8 so, the whitelist_externals has no effect.

Add changelog note for running tests with pytest-xdist

Make test database template creation concurrent build_db_cache() is used in tests to create test database templates, i.e. DEFAULT_EMPTY_DB_ID (which is __default_empty_db__) and custom template database using CubicwebTC test_db_id/pre_setup_database API. When running tests in parallel using multiple processes, build_db_cache() may try to build the same database twice. Avoid this by adding synchronisation of process by using a file lock. So when two processes require the same template database, one build the database and others wait it to be created. Use filelock (https://github.com/benediktschmitt/py-filelock) library to have a portable (unix / windows) way for handling locks. Also filelock is packaged in debian: https://packages.debian.org/source/python-filelock

Make test database cache lookup concurrent has_cache() is used to dertermine if the template database already exists or not. When running tests accross multiple process, has_cache() wasn't aware of databases created by other processes because it used a cache to generate the cache... Since the discovering discover_cached_db() time is quite reasonable (it's just about listing file in a directory), let re-generate the cache on cache miss.

Fix flake8 issues since release 3.6.0 Flake8 had a new release which raise new issues, namely: W504: line break after binary operator F841: local variable 'ex' is assigned to but never used W605: invalid escape sequence F821: undefined name 'buffer' (noqa seems the only way to avoid this false positive) Also pin flake8>=3.6 in our tests and make explicit that we use python3 to run flake8 tests.

Stabilize flake8 tests on 3.26 branch Use basepython=python2 or flake8 installed with python3 will raise "[F821] undefined name 'buffer'" Pin flake8 < 3.6 which has new checks that doesn't pass on our current code base.
