Python 3.8 to 3.11 mongo 7.0

[guzzijones]

python 3.12 works. mongodb 7.0 works.
I also fixed some unit tests.
This merges in @FileMagic and @nzlosh work on mongo 7.0.

chunk1 and chunk2 were running the exact same tests from what I can tell. I don't see any usage of NODE_TOTAL or NODE_INDEX in our workflow code or testing code.

The switch to pytest makes those vars obsolete. They were used by nose-parallel: https://pypi.org/project/nose-parallel/

I'm going to slowly review this PR. I plan to look for isolated pieces of this PR that could go in separate PRs to make each bit of functionality easier to review and check for completeness. I understand that breaking up a large PR can be painful, so I'll try to minimize that pain as much as I can.

it is mostly just pytest changes.

#6291 cherry-picks the nose -> pytest transition.
Once that is merged, the last things left to cherry-pick from this PR are:

• adding python 3.10 and 3.11 to the GHA test matrix (Add official support for python 3.10 and 3.11 #6292), and
• pants-related documentation.
