Add tests to pypi tarball

[asagratini]

Hello team,
while working on updating hvac version FreeBSD port [1], we noticed that tarball downloaded from pypi.org does not have test suite, which is instead available on this github repo.

Ideally, we'd like to have that included also in pypi file: is this something you can consider adding?

Let us know if you need anything else.
Thank you

Hi @asagratini , thanks for opening this!

This seems reasonable and I'll look to add this. I did a little bit of preliminary research and from what I can tell adding tests to the sdist is pretty common, since we're using poetry I guess we will do it somewhat as described here:

• Per format packages support python-poetry/poetry#1133 (comment)

If you have any additional background or information that would be helpful too. I'm particularly interested in whether previous versions of hvac did include the tests, so I can try to understand why/how they were removed.

I suspect it may have been an unintended consequence of us moving to poetry:

• Migrate to Poetry #854

Since we've already merged some changes to main that require a minor version, the next expected version of hvac is 1.2.0, and I'll look to get this resolved for that release if possible.
