Title: #475: Add options to run only ipaclient unittests

"""
I am not a big fan of mixing filename matching and markers in this PR. I feel that using only one of those approaches is a more cleaner solution and it seems that marking all the tests and then running a subset using the pytest's marker selection API loks like the easiest road.

It seems like a daunting task but it may actually be easier given that you can mark whole modules[1] or even generate marker dynamically by introspecting node IDs during test collection[2].

You can ultimately provide an option as an alias for selecting/deselecting markers as needed if you like but the underlying implementation will be cleaner as result.
