Allow pytest to run with sudo

[Viermusketiere]

To enable the execution of complex tests it is sometimes necessary to execute pytest with sudo.
A launch configuration supports the sudo flag. Is it possible to port this over for the execution of pytest / unittest tests started from the Testing tab?
It is quite annoying to have to execute some tests requiring elevated rights from the terminal and not be able to see the status of those tests in the test overview displayed in the Testing tab.

I have managed to find a workaround which makes me wonder even more why this feature isn't supported:
When creating a custom launch config to debug tests I am able to specify the "sudo" = true flag which works when executing my tests in debug mode. The test result is also properly collected after execution in debug mode.
Is there a way to create a custom launch config for regular tests?

After some more extensive research on outstanding feature request it seems like #21845 would solve this problem automatically if the "sudo" flag could be set to true for pytest/unittest run
