SG-38126 Review and Fixups CI Tests and Code Coverage

[julien-lang]

Fixups

• Fix a code coverage issue regarding the certifi third party library
  • The certifi library was included in the coverage result despites being listed in the .coveragerc ignore list because of a typo
• Fix Coverage badge in readme
  • was targetinng old coverall.io service that we don'T use since we move to Azure Pipelines
  • Now targets codecov.io

Pytests

Consolidate test structure around pytest.

• Remove useless driver script. It's just as easy to launch pytest.
• Remove outdated information about nose
• Rename the PIP requirement files from ci_requirements.txt to requirements.txt

Azure Pipeline CI Improvements

• Define job parameter in the "formal" form without a default value to make sure CI fails if the parameters are not provided
• Simplify the code coverage upload mechanism to codecov.io
• Drop pytest-azurepipeline
  • This package was prviously used to automatically upload test report and code coverage to Azure Pipelines which is very convenient.
  • Unfortunately, the package does not seem to be maintained anymore. And it is using outdated versions the PublishTestResults and PublishCodeCoverageResults Azure Pipeline tasks.
