can't install `testtools` because of circular dependency on `fixtures`.

See original GitHub issue

I realize it seems like this was an intentional decision to not support circular dependencies, but testtools apparently has a circular dependency on fixtures. It seems they refuse to break this dependency, but it is apparently not a runtime dependency – one of them is build-time. https://github.com/testing-cabal/testtools/issues/236

I’m not sure if there’s a way to resolve this – does testtools or fixtures need more metadata specified with their dependencies? can poetry just allow circular dependencies?

@radix Just so you know I am currently rewriting the resolver from scratch and circular dependencies, as long as they are compatible, will be supported.
