[test] allow for shell autocomplete for test names
tox was configured to change to the testing/tests directory before executing pytest, by using tox's "changedir" configuration option. The reason why this was the case is that we wanted to discover tests inside the testing/tests directory only. The problem with that approach is that if we wanted to point to a specific test file, for example "tests/perf/test_sync.py", we would have to omit the "tests" part and write "tox perf/test_sync.py" because the argument would be understood as relative to the changed dir. That is not practical as doesn't allow to use the shell autocomplete, and is also not the only way to achieve what we want. Actually, pytest has a configuration option called "testpaths" where you can indicate where it should discover tests. This commit changes one approach by the other and allows to user shell autocomplete for easyness of testing during development.
