configure warnings as errors in the test suite

[graingert]

Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

It's very easy (especially when deprecating something) to introduce a lot of noisy test output with new warnings, eg: #127949 (comment)

I think it would be useful to either configure warnings as errors in the test suite (and then capture unraisable/threadexcept errors using a mechanism like pytest has) or tee any warnings produced, and fail CI if any have been produced that were not captured with catch_warnings or assertWarns etc like https://pypi.org/project/pytest-max-warnings/

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?

I have already discussed this feature proposal on Discourse

See #110012 test_socket raises warnings right now.

See #128816 test_doctest also has a warning

[graingert]

See #110012 test_socket raises warnings right now.

I'm thinking we mark these as default with catch_warnings in the test for now?
