doc, test: update pytest requirement, drop py.test references

This bump to `pytest` is primarily to eliminate some deprecation
warnings from inside of `pytest` itself, but note that this relaxes our
dependency to 2 release fields instead of 3, meaning that we will
automatically get 'minor' upgrades to `pytest` (up to 8.0 exclusive)

As of `pytest` 7.2.0, `py` is no longer in our dependency graph, so we
should not refer to this older and sorta-deprecated library, especially
when invoking `pytest`.
