Make node ID modification more stable.

[criemen]

We force test collection on the controller node, as we run some global setup there before starting the workers. That setup also depends on the test node IDs, but currently, pytest-xdist only modifies the test node IDs on the workers, that've been started and where setup_config has been called. I don't see a good reason for this, and for creating a separate config entry, so let's just check the right condition in the pytest hook. That way, the hook will always do the same node ID transformation, regardless of pytest-xdist setup.

Thanks for submitting a PR, your contribution is really appreciated!

Here's a quick checklist that should be present in PRs:

• Make sure to include reasonable tests for your change if necessary

• We use towncrier for changelog management, so please add a news file into the changelog folder following these guidelines:

  • Name it $issue_id.$type for example 588.bugfix;

  • If you don't have an issue_id change it to the PR id after creating it

  • Ensure type is one of removal, feature, bugfix, vendor, doc or trivial

  • Make sure to use full sentences with correct case and punctuation, for example:

    Fix issue with non-ascii contents in doctest text files.

Node id modification needs to be dropped all together

[criemen]

That is a good point - as all the unit tests fail on this PR anyways, I'll see what I can do.

Doing the stuff the hack with node id enabled in a more natural way is a major undertaking

Only got there as a follow-up

I'll collect feedback on #1119 and if that's not a viable route, I'll try to resurrect this PR instead.
