prune: sweep Testing to the shortlist cap

Browse Source 
Per ADR-0001, restructure first: split GUI / Web Testing into Browser
Automation (playwright-python, selenium), Load Testing (locust), and
API Testing (schemathesis). Then cap. Maintainer-adjudicated 2026-08-15
at the preview review: robotframework, schemathesis, respx, vcrpy, and
mimesis keep against the old dry-run verdicts; respx and vcrpy take the
two Mock Challenger slots, nox stays the Test Runners Challenger
(listed after tox per the Challenger-ordering rule).

Removed (downloads are PyPI last-month, fetched 2026-08-15):

- scanapi (3.3K/month): near-zero usage
- unittest: stdlib rule - a stdlib module survives only where it is
  itself the Obvious Choice; for test frameworks that is pytest
- pyautogui (2.5M/month): desktop GUI automation, not web testing; no
  Use Case slot after the Split
- mocket (273K/month): socket-level mocking; small audience next to
  responses
