    This adds a lot of new out-of-the-box functionality for running various
    test matrices. There's now a pre-defined list of databases, covering
    SQLite, MySQL 5.6/5.7/8, MariaDB, and Postgress 11.8/12/13/14. These are
    configured in default_test_db_settings.py, which is automatically
    loaded, and a tests/docker-compose.yaml is provided in order to fetch
    and spin up each of the databases.

    The tox configuration now contains a number of useful environments for
    performing tests against various Python/Django/database combinations.
    Along with the default Python/Django environments that are run, it
    introduces the following new environments:

    • djangos: Tests all versions of Django against a pre-determined
      version of Python.

    • pythons: Tests all versions of Python against a pre-determined
      version of Django.

    • dbtests-<dbname>: Tests all versions of Django with the provided
      database against a pre-determined version of Python.

    • dbtests-<dbname>-<mysql_backend>: Similar to dbtests-<dbname>,
      but accepts a -myisam or -innodb suffix to test using that engine
      (only supported for MySQL or MariaDB)

    • dbtests-newest: Tests all versions of Django with the newest
      testable versions of each type of database.

    • dbtests-minmax: Tests all versions of Django with the oldest and
      newest testable versions of each type of database.

    • dbtests-all: Tests all versions of Django with all databases.

    During test run, pytest now provides more relevant database
    information. Previously, it would provide the MySQL, Postgres, or SQLite
    backend versions, regardless of which tests were being run. Now it
    provides them only if testing that backend.

    For MySQL/MariaDB, we also show the database storage backend that's
    being tested with.

    Skipped tests are now shown in pytest output.

    This change really does strain tox's configuration options a bit.
    Unfortunately, there isn't a way to make generative sections that easily
    inherit from a previous one without redundant inheritance rules, and
    there isn't a way to list optional test factors (like
    myisam/innodb), nested factors (like -{mysql{5_6,5_7},postgres{11,12}},
    or pre-configured but non-default test environments. Some of this may
    improve down the road with tox 4.

    Tested each of the new environments, letting some run overnight.

    Been using most of these for testing with recent changes.
