Description

Combine Pytest analysis with basic Python analysis. In other words, merge classes like com.ibm.wala.cast.python.loader.PytestLoader, com.ibm.wala.cast.python.loader.PytestLoaderFactory, and com.ibm.wala.cast.python.client.PytestAnalysisEngine<T> with the general Python analysis classes.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Identify the responsibilities of PytestAnalysisEngine and PythonAnalysisEngine, then refactor to unify class hierarchies. Examine how PytestLoader extends PythonLoader and consider merging logic.
