python-pkginfo: FTBFS against python 3.15rc1

Package: src:python-pkginfo

Hi!

While rebuilding the python related packages against the Python 3.15rc1
version we found that python-pkginfo fails to build from source [1]. 

The issue seems to be two fold, pytest-cov's
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pytest_cov-7.1.0.dist-info/METADATA
declares:
Requires-Dist: coverage[toml]>=7.10.6
which is not available in Debian (I'll report another bug about this),
and the patch included in python-pkginfo still let's tox to try to
fulfill the dependencies (which then tries to install a newer version of
coverage.
I've updated the patch to remove the dependencies, so pytest uses the
modules in the system.

I applied the upstream fix in the sandbox [2] to be able to build the
packages that depend on python-pkginfo, please consider applying the
patch to support the upcoming 3.15 version.

Happy hacking,

Subject: Run pytest as a python module

In the Debian package build time, pytest is installed outside the
virtualenv, so tox needs it to be added to the allowlist, if we want to
execute the binary directly.
