README.rst: add pytest examples and mention tox limitations #682

  1. tox.ini: move pytest first, before style checkers 

    This is required to test code that includes temporary test hacks that
don't pass style checks.

People write ugly code first. Then they make it prettier.

  2. README.rst: add pytest examples and mention tox limitations 

    The tox indirection layer is convenient except for the usual problems
caused by too many layers of indirection:

- Add some examples and show how it is still possible to use important
  pytest features. This is also useful to boost people familiar with
  Python but not with pytest.

- To stop developers wasting their time trying, document a major
  limitation with the current approach: impossible to run the west
  code in a debugger when it's started from a test.

- Show how the "printf" alternative can work.
