test: disable pylint's redefined-outer-name

This lint unilaterally forbids shadowing. However, this clashes with pytest fixtures in a great many places: To use a fixture a test function needs to have an argument that matches the fixture's name. However, if the fixture is defined in the same file as its usage, then this will trigger pylint's redfined-outer-name. Since this is a very common pattern, disable this lint.
