Remove usage of deprecated `rsyncdir`, which will be removed in pytest-xdist 4.0

[parthea]

Summary

This issue is related to https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-cov/issues/557 which is closed.

The rsyncdir argument is deprecated and will be removed in pytest-xdist 4.0. It's currently used in the line below: https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-cov/blob/2c9f2170d8575b21bafb6402eb30ca7de31e20b9/src/pytest_cov/engine.py#L272

See other usage here: https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Apytest-dev%2Fpytest-cov%20rsyncdir&type=code

Expected vs actual result

When using pytest-cov I didn't expect to see warnings. A warning appears due to usage of rsyncdir which is deprecated.

Reproducer

Create a pytest.ini file to treat warnings as errors

[pytest]
filterwarnings =
    # treat all warnings as errors
    error

pip install pytest-cov
pip install pytest-xdist
py.test -n=auto --cov=test

Output of relevant packages pip list, python --version, pytest --version etc.

Code

Link to your repository, gist, pastebin or just paste raw code that illustrates the issue. I tested this in https://github.com/googleapis/python-bigquery-storage but I can produce the issue in other repositories as well.

If you paste raw code make sure you quote it, eg:

def foobar():
    pass
