Follow up of #3366.

We couldn't pinpoint the reason for this and it might confuse users, so we might as well remove this.

GitMate.io thinks possibly related issues are #1132 (Pytest/capsys fixture not capturing stdout), #343 (pytest.fixture with a yield statement doesn't work as expected), #1849 (Pytest 3.0 does not accept empty list in fixture), #3366 (Plugin fixtures with leading underscore ignored outside project defining them), and #2043 (Pytest does not support indirect parameters for overriden fixtures).

Sure, why not. Apart from changing the code, is there any documentation / changelog update necessary?

To play it safe? Works for me too. I think just adding a note in the docs and perhaps in the cmdline help ((use -v to show fixtures with leading underscores)) would be enough?
