Consider linking to Nox & other related projects

[theacodes]

Hey foiks,
I'm the maintainer of Nox, a tool that is similar to Tox in purpose but different in spirit. One of the things we found to be really useful was to tell our users about other projects that they might be interested in looking at if they're considering our using Nox.

I'm wondering if Tox would be interested in likewise linking to Nox (& possibly PyInvoke). I think our projects could benefit from more cross-linking. For example, it seems that some of the feature requests here are already possible with Nox's approach (and vice-versa). We could point our users to each other in those cases so that they can get unblocked quickly and we can better prioritize requests.

I'm more than happy to write a pull request to add this to the docs, I just wanted to reach out and make sure that this would be a welcome addition. If not, that's totally fine. :)

Thanks!

@theacodes hello, yeah that would be fine. Just keep it short and explain briefly why one would want to use over the other. Note tox is always written with lowercase, no capitalization should be applied to it, similar to pytest. Would be well appreciated if you could change this in the Nox documentation (while at it py.test is also nowadays dropped the dot and they prefer just pytest).

Excellent!

I seem to remember doing some research and couldn't figure out one way or the other on the casing, so I erred on the side of using uppercase. Thanks for clarifying, I've sent wntrblm/nox#160 to fix that. :)

Also fixed that, good call out. I thought we'd gotten all of them but a few always slip by.

Great, I'll put together a PR soon. Do you have a preference for where such a section would go? I would like to link to both Invoke and Nox if that's oaky.

I'm okay with end of index page.Yeah it's ok.
