Tests: replace nose with pytest

nose is no longer maintained, see
nose-devs/nose#1099 (comment).

This commit switches to pytest.

Amongst the changes, here are the most relevant ones:
* Create a conftest.py that contains fixtures.
* Replace nose.with_setup with yield fixtures.
* Use pytest.skip instead of print and nose.plugins.skip.SkipTest.
* Use pytest.mark.slow instead of nose.plugins.attrib.attr("slow").
* Use pytest.mark.parametrize instead of parameterized, simplify
  parametrized tests that use both `shell` and `inverse_order`.
* Update Travis config.
* Update SConscript.
* Update documentation.
