use new pytest asdf plugin

[braingram]

Changes

Update test dependencies to use new https://pypi.org/project/pytest-asdf-plugin/ which is a feature-compatible replacement for the bundled asdf pytest plugin (which will soon be deprecated).

For context the pytest-asdf-plugin is responsible for finding and converting schema files into "tests" (to check the schema against the metaschema and validated any contained "examples"). Since both the bundled and now external plugins are feature-compatible there should be no change in test number (or new failures, etc).

On main 153 tests passed:

Converted to draft until a version of pytest-asdf-plugin is on conda forge.

xref: conda-forge/staged-recipes#30820

Closing and reopening to see if the conda-forge version is working.

Thank you for implementing this already @braingram

I assume older asdf versions will always use the older built-in plugin?

Thanks!

Yeah with any asdf < 4.4.0 the pytest-asdf-plugin will do nothing (won't register itself with pytest) so there are no conflicts from arguments, collected tests etc. With asdf 4.4.0 the bundled plugin will do nothing if it see the pytest-asdf-plugin is installed for the same reasons. The plan is to deprecate the bundled plugin (a warning will be shown during test execution only if pytest-asdf-plugin isn't already installed) and then remove it in a major version change for asdf.

Let me know if you have any other questions/comments.
