[pytest-dev] junitxml update

[RonnyPfannschmidt]

Hi Bruno

Im fine with any other proposal that sorts out the breakage dimensions
to be expected - but until someone makes one i'll hold the strong
conviction that externalization before evolution will be the only way to
give users control over their fate with xunitxml without locking them
into very specific pytest versions.

moving forward i'll consider xunit as something i will not touch.
