fix dist test by moving --no-pkgroot to runtests.py

This change fixes the dist test by moving the --no-pkgroot option from
pytest to the runtests script.

The current "filterwarnings" setting for pytest includes rest_framework,
which causes an early import of the module. As a result the current
--no-pkgroot behavior fails with an assertion error. Trying to remove
the module from sys.modules will cause the warning filter to not apply,
so this change moves this code before pytest parses the config and loads
the "filterwarnings".
