Subject: [PATCH] pytest 4.0 doesn't recognize module name if listed in
 'testpaths'

'fontTools' is not a folder name, but the import name of the package
where we have some doctests to be discovered and run.

even though we have --pyargs option (which makes pytest first attempt
to treat any positional arguments as module import names), with the
latest pytest 4.0.0 our tests started to fail as if the new pytest
is evaluating the default 'testpaths' (as defined in setup.cfg, used
when no arguments are supplied to pytest) _before_ the --pyargs
option, and thus it thinks that 'fontTools' is a directory name
instead of a package name...

This a workaround. It also means that if one runs `pytest` without
arguments, only the tests inside `Tests` directory are going to be
run automatically, and not also the doctests inside fontTools package.

When running the test suite using tox, all tests are run, both
those in Tests folder and the doctests in fontTools.
