runtests.py attempts to collect tests from subrepos if extra arguments are given

See original GitHub issue

Problem Description

Running pytests with extra arguments results in collection error. Recommend updating runtests.py to add 'spyder' in front of extra_args

What steps reproduce the problem?

run python runtests.py -k 'some_single_test'

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Should run single test, but instead attempts to load tests from subrepos in ‘external-deps’.

Paste Traceback/Error Below (if applicable)
