modify eachdist.py so develop subcommand works by default

[pmcollins]

Description

By default and with a clean checkout,eachdist.py develop fails with a no matching distribution error.

However, if you modify the script, setting with_test_deps to False, the script issues a pip command that does not indicate [test] extras for each package, and it completes successfully.

This PR makes a small change to eachdist.py, defaulting with_test_deps to False and adding a flag so users can still turn this capability on.

Possible workaround for #1846

Related to #1462

@pmcollins curious, what is the motivation behind this change? Is there something this script can do that tox can't?

@pmcollins curious, what is the motivation behind this change? Is there something this script can do that tox can't?

Hi @ocelotl -- I use the eachdist script to install all OTel python sub-projects in editable mode (python eachdist.py develop), and it looks like eachdist was developed for this purpose (among others). Do you feel that this approach is deprecated (or should it be)? I'm curious about alternative approaches (happy to discuss in Slack if you want, too).

In any case, it looks like my original problem is no longer a problem 🤷, but there is a new problem and that is that -- at least for me -- the import order defined in eachdist.ini needs tweaking. I have updated this PR with that tweak, which is a little bit sneaky because we're repurposing this PR a bit, but at least now we have the option.

In its current form, python scripts/eachdist.py develop fails, but it succeeds with the changes proposed in this PR (I have updated this PR with a different order in eachdist.ini), so if these changes are good, I'd like to make them available to other developers. On the other hand, if we want to deprecate the develop subcommand or the whole script, happy to discuss that too.

Closing in favor of the fix for #3903.
