Research direction

Start with tox.ini around line 17 and compare the requirements conventions in other releng repositories. Add the test.in/test.txt requirements structure managed by pip-compile-multi and pin the Python version; done means the test dependencies and Python runtime are reproducible in CI.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I noticed that the test requirements are unpinned:
https://github.com/mozilla-releng/scriptworker/blob/main/tox.ini#L17

We should follow the conventions in other releng repos of using pip-compile-multi and a set of test.in / test.txt requirements files to keep the CI reproducible.

Relatedly, the version of Python we are using is also unpinned. This caused some confusion in:
https://github.com/mozilla-releng/scriptworker/pull/583
