Fix failures in CI ahead of first release, drop Python 3.5

[ulupo]

What does this implement/fix? Explain your changes.

• Drops support for Python 3.5 (changes in setup.py, azure-pipelines.yml and README.rst).
• Edits administrative information contained in RELEASE.rst, GOVERNANCE.rst, setup.py, CODE_AUTHORS.rst, and LICENSE.
• Adds a line to setup.cfg to avoid a pytest warning.
• Tweaks doc/conf.py to avoid a warning.
• Improves documentation and/or variable names in pyflagser/flagser.py and pyflagser/flagio.py.
• Removes all nightly steps from azure-pipelines.yml as we are unlikely to do nightlies for this project.
• Improves description and order of some steps in azure-pipelines.yml.
• Creates a conftest.py file in pyflagser/tests where a command line option for pytest named --webdl is defined. When the user passes it, flag files are downloaded and stored in a temporary folder from a remote (public) bucket. This is useful if one wishes to run pytest on installed wheels, as the .flag files needed would not typically be found in ../../flagser/test relative to the location of the test files (e.g. pyflagser/tests/test_flagio.py). The use of pytest_generate_tests replaces the use of pytest.mark.parametrize in the test files as it is a well-known issue in pytest that fixtures cannot be passed to pytest.mark.parametrize, so the original idea of defining the locations of .flag files (whether they are downloaded or not) via a fixture then passed to pytest.mark.parametrize could not be implemented.
• Creates a __main__.py and a conftest.py file in pyflagser/tests to be able to run tests on installed wheels using the command python -m pyflagser.tests --webdl --no-cov --no-coverage-upload. The reason pyflagser --pyargs pyflagser --webdl could not be made to work is that it is a well-known issue (see also here) that command-line options defined in a conftest cannot generically be found when pytest --pyargs is used.

I'm debugging this locally to see what I'm missing.

[gtauzin]

Are we sure that when the wheels are being tested, the flagser directory is never available?

[ulupo]

Yes, this is what happens in local tests too. The point is that we are testing the shipped wheels and they do not come with the flag files from the flagser repo.
