Hostname and timestamp properties in generated JUnit XML reports

[anaskhan96]

Pytest enables generating JUnit XML reports of the tests.

However, there are some properties missing, specifically hostname and timestamp from the testsuite XML element. Is there an option to include them?

Example of a pytest XML report:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<testsuite errors="0" failures="2" name="check" skipped="0" tests="4" time="0.049">
	<testcase classname="test_sample.TestClass" file="test_sample.py" line="3" name="test_addOne_normal" time="0.001"></testcase>
	<testcase classname="test_sample.TestClass" file="test_sample.py" line="6" name="test_addOne_edge" time="0.001"></testcase>
</testsuite>

Example of a junit XML report:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<testsuite name="location.GeoLocationTest" tests="2" skipped="0" failures="0" errors="0" timestamp="2019-04-22T10:32:27" hostname="Anass-MacBook-Pro.local" time="0.048">
  <properties/>
  <testcase name="testIoException()" classname="location.GeoLocationTest" time="0.044"/>
  <testcase name="testJsonDeserialization()" classname="location.GeoLocationTest" time="0.003"/>
  <system-out><![CDATA[]]></system-out>
  <system-err><![CDATA[]]></system-err>
</testsuite>

@samueljsb thanks!

Can the fix for this be back-ported to a 4.6 patch release?

@nicoddemus did something similar for #5594
