Subject: [PATCH 1/2] doc: fix removed pytest.config reference in
 historical-notes

pytest.config was removed in pytest 5.0, but the documentation on
'Conditions as strings instead of booleans' still showed it as the
modern equivalent of string-based skipif conditions.

Replace the broken example with the current recommended approach using
request.config (via an autouse fixture), and add a note pointing to
the removal notice in the deprecations page.

Fixes #12377
