Speedups

tox-faster implements these tox speedups:

Disables tox's dependency listing (the "env report")

Every single time you run tox it runs pip freeze to print out a list of all the packages installed in the testenv being run:

You don't need to see that in your terminal every time you run tox and if your venv contains a lot of packages it's quite annoying because it prints screenfulls of text. Running pip freeze also introduces a noticeable delay in the startup time of every tox command: on my machine with my venv it adds about 250ms.

tox-faster removes this so your tox output will be shorter and your tox commands will start faster:

$ tox -e lint
lint run-test-pre: PYTHONHASHSEED='3084948731'
lint run-test: commands[0] | pylint lms bin
