Subject: [PATCH] ci(pytest.yml): adopt matrix syntax of GitHub actions

The pytest based testing is redefined adopting tmatrix based syntax
GitHub offers.  This eases to track which versions of OSes and Python
interpreters are engaged, and a format is more compact, than the one
used earlier.  Inspired/partially copy-pasted from a project related
to chemistry.[1]
