Notes from pyctdev review

with @kcpevey

• task_ecosystem_setup pip upgrades distribution tools.
• task_env_create does nothin in pip, but is overriden in conda
• should use LongRunning instead of CmdAction when possible
• task_dev_install, _pip_... builds a pip command to update the environment.
• consider using flakehell instead of flake8
• move linting after testing
• coveralls coverage task.

suggestions

• squash pip and conda setup into one smart function.
• squash environment variable setup into tasks.

• move from cli params to env vars

[tonyfast]

• add a smoke test that fails quicker than the full test suite.

[kcpevey]

we can run the smoke test concurrent with the full test suite in gh actions so it will fail faster without impacting the full run time.

And it may also be possible to stop all tests if the smoke test fails even if they've already started.
