Bruno Oliveira 37b9dbdbf4 Deploy via a protected environment and using PyPI trusted publishers (#902)
Following recent discussions, this changes the development process as follows:

1. The deploy is now manually triggered after the release PR is approved.
2. The deploy workflow tags the repository only after the package has been published to PyPI.
3. Use PyPI trusted publishers instead of API tokens.

Releasing pytest-xdist
======================
This document describes the steps to make a new ``pytest-xdist`` release.
Version
-------
``master`` should always be green and a potential release candidate. ``pytest-xdist`` follows
semantic versioning, so given that the current version is ``X.Y.Z``, to find the next version number
one needs to look at the ``changelog`` folder:
- If there is any file named ``*.feature``, then we must make a new **minor** release: next
release will be ``X.Y+1.0``.
- Otherwise it is just a **bug fix** release: ``X.Y.Z+1``.
Steps
-----
To publish a new release ``X.Y.Z``, the steps are as follows:
#. Create a new branch named ``release-X.Y.Z`` from the latest ``master``.
#. Install ``tox`` in a virtualenv::
$ pip install tox
#. Update the necessary files with::
$ tox -e release -- X.Y.Z
#. Commit and push the branch to ``upstream`` and open a PR.
#. Once the PR is **green** and **approved**, start the ``deploy`` workflow manually from the branch ``release-VERSION``, passing ``VERSION`` as parameter.
#. Merge the release PR to ``master``.
