No test report when pytest can't repr() a test failure in --showlocals mode about vscode-python-test-adapter

@yozlet Just a small update on this issue. I have tried to reproduce it on my Linux machine, and everything worked as expected. A little bit later I will try to reproduce this on Mac and CI.

It looks like this is a pytest bug happening when using -l (--showlocals) and -vv together. I've created the issue pytest-dev/pytest#5089 and look forward to what pytest devs thinking about it.

@yozlet Thank you for the issue! I'll take a look.

Ah, here's the differentiator - the --showlocals argument:

"python.unitTest.pyTestArgs": ["--showlocals", "-vv"]

Without --showlocals, the Test Adapter works fine.

Trouble is, --showlocals is just massively useful for fixing tests quickly without needing to run the debugger. It's so useful that maybe you could do something with the data it reports? (Though that's a separate feature request.)

@yozlet The issue in pytest has already been fixed. I will close this issue since it has nothing to do with the extension. Please, recheck this case after the new release of pytest. If there would be any other problems, feel free to create a new issue.

Many thanks for chasing this up and fixing it on the pytest side - that's far beyond the call of duty!
