Subject: [docs] Define in details the testing environment

On debian stable the `python3-tox` and `python-tox` packages
come with a really old version of `pip` and `setup_tools`.
This makes unusable PEP496 that comes handy when dependencies
are "py-version-related".
As a workaround we can "inject" an upgraded version of `pip` just
before running `tox`.
