Remove the mock backend #995

Closed ejeschke closed 2 years ago

ejeschke commented 2 years ago

This PR removes the mock backend. It is rarely used and kind of a pain to keep current.

It was mostly used for a couple of tests and as a template for making a new backend. I think one of the common non-widget backends like pilw (pillow) is quite sufficient for the tests. For making a new backend, one should follow the example of the closest backend that already exists.

No objection from me. I don't think I ever used the mock stuff. 👍
