[test] add --subdir option and blacklist
Use subdir path to select/deselect benchmark tests.
Because of the way pytest and pytest benchamrk select/deselect tests, it
makes more sense for this test suite to use a --subdir option to select
only a subset of tests and a blacklist of subdirectories that should not
be run unless explicitelly asked to.
This commit adds a --subdir option, that will deselect all tests no in
./tests/<subdir> when the option is passed to pytest. Also, a blacklist
is added so, unless explicitelly added as a --subdir, tests in
blacklisted subdirectories will not be run.
The reasons for this modification are:
- pytest-benchmarks selects/deselects tests based on the type of their
fixtures. This means that fixtures have to be instantiated previous to
test selection/deselection, something that may cause side effects that
we want to avoid.
- the usual test suite is run for all benchmarks, while some tests
should only be run in specific situations (as is the case of
benchmarks and responsiveness tests). It is saner to implement subdir
selection than marking all tests with pytest marks and using them to
select/deselect.
