Overhaul unittest and fixtures

See original GitHub issue

Remove dependency on unittest.TestCase by replacing assertions with assert statements. This also involves using pytest.raises and pytest.skip decorators.

Use PyTest fixtures for datasets and other fixtures.

~Add PEP checking to pytest (alongside pyflakes)~

rename ThingTests to TestThing
assertions
pytest.skip
dataset fixtures
~PEP8~

Alongside this we should also do a PY2 removal check, namely anywhere:

try:
    from unittest import mock
except ImportError:
    import mock

should be replaced with just from unittest import mock

Gotcha @bbengfort, I’ll add to the v1.0 milestone in that case.

Recommend that we remove PEP8 from this as we are going to add Black in another V1.0 issue: https://github.com/DistrictDataLabs/yellowbrick/issues/456
