Description
We currently depend on the py project for its xml module as seen below:
gnikonorov:~/pytest-html$ git grep "from py\."
README.rst: from py.xml import html
README.rst: from py.xml import html
README.rst: from py.xml import html
pytest_html/plugin.py:from py.xml import html
pytest_html/plugin.py:from py.xml import raw
testing/test_pytest_html.py: from py.xml import html
testing/test_pytest_html.py: from py.xml import html
gnikonorov:~/pytest-html$ git grep "import py
Since this library is in maintenance only mode now, I think we should migrate away from it to other alternatives as it looks like we only use it to generate HTML elements for the report.
Thoughts @ssbarnea and @BeyondEvil ? If neither if you object I want to go ahead and see if I can migrate us off of it.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the py.xml imports in pytest_html/plugin.py and testing/test_pytest_html.py, then check the examples in README.rst and the issue's git grep results. Identify the replacement approach before changing the affected files. Done means pytest-html no longer depends on py for HTML generation and the existing tests still pass.
