[U-Boot] [PATCH] test/py: Set cache_dir to /tmp/.pytest_cache

For some time now, pytest has supported setting where a cache directory
that it will use is located (and in turn has logic to re-use this cache
and speed things up when possible).  When running the pytest tests on
Azure Pipelines, our source directory is read-only and we now see a
warning about being unable to create the .pytest_cache directory as the
default is in the same place as pytest.ini.  Set cache_dir to
/tmp/.pytest_cache so that it will always be placed in a read/write
location.

Looking at
https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/customize.html#confval-cache_dir we
could use an environment variable but TMP/TMPDIR/etc aren't always going
to be set and that in turn leads to test/py/$TMPDIR/.pytest_cache being
used.  I think hard-coding to /tmp here ends up being less problematic
but I am open to suggestions.  We could even just ignore the warning, I
only spotted it when seeing why a test had otherwise failed.
