Compatibility issue with pluggy 1.4

[Midnighter]

pytest-raises has been my trusted companion for many years now. Since pluggy 1.4, however, old-style hook wrappers cause test failures.

pluggy.PluggyTeardownRaisedWarning: A plugin raised an exception during an old-style hookwrapper teardown.

There is a discussion at pytest-dev/pytest#11858, for example, that mentions potential approaches.

@svenevs @Lemmons I'm seeing this as well - I can take a stab at it to try and find a solution, but I wanted to check in. Are you two around for possibly deploying a new version as well? There's some maintenance that might be beneficial for the project (since the last release was in 2020). Happy to pitch in on that if you'd like 🙂

Hey team, I'm happy to try and look into this on Sunday. Generally this plugin is intended to be feature complete / low maintenance, but it does appear it's time for a facelift.

I haven't had time to dig into what's going on, but from a brief skim of the linked issue it does seem like we've got a viable path forward. @AetherUnbound if you have time to get a prototype working I can definitely review and make sure the packaging requirements are updated etc.

Thank you @Midnighter for the detailed report and link to the discussion!
