Enable live logging for non-parallel pytest runs

This provides incremental output when test is running _without xdist_,
just like the old runner did.

With xdist the live output is not available, I believe because of
pytest-dev/pytest-xdist#402
pytest-dev/pytest-xdist#883 might help with
that, but I'm not going to hold my breath until it is available on
distros we use.
