Configure pytest to properly locate conftest.py

In pytest 7.4.0, there were some changes to how the configuration file
for pytest is located. In our case, this resulted in a failure to find
the conftest.py with the needed fixtures which then prevented our python
tests from being executed successfully.

Configure the --confcutdir to ensure it points to the system test
directory, where our conftest.py is located.
