What kind of change does this PR introduce?

Attempts to install xscen in a pure Python (tox) environment ~with the install-esmf-action~
- (install-esmf-action-installed ESMF appears to cause some segfaults with pytest. I'd love to get to the bottom of it, but I know when to quit. Here's hoping this isn't exposing a problem that we might again have further on.)
More specific packaging wildcards to prevent warnings emitted in tox
Disables tox-conda
tox now offers a means for installing esmpy from a tag/branch (via ESMF_VERSION environment variable)
Linters are now called alphabetically
Manifest is much more specific about what is installed
Pin on xarray now in setup.py
Re-adds a dev recipe to the setup.py
Removes xdoctest dependency (wasn't being used).

Does this PR introduce a breaking change?

No. ESMF_VERSION is only needed if tox is called with -esmpy flag. The tox config was always dependent on an environment having esmpy, therefore there are few instances where it would work anyway (requires tox-current-env or tox-conda).

Other information:

https://github.com/esmf-org/install-esmf-action (I think I'll wait for the next version before trying this again).

I have no idea why I keep getting Segfaults on GitHub Actions. There has to be something strange going on with the test setup that isn't memory safe. Is this possible?

Can you remind us of what's wrong with installing ESMF through mamba on the CI ?

And why is nc-time-axis a dependency, I don't think we plot anything in xscen ? (I mean outside the docs)

I'm going to squash these commits to not pollute the history.
