MAINT: Complete Conversion to Pytest Idiom (pandas-dev#16201)

* MAINT: Convert test setup/teardown to pytest idiom

* tm.TestCase now just inherits from object
* setUpClass renamed to setup_class
* tearDownClass renamed to teardown_class
* setUp renamed to setup_method
* tearDown renamed to teardown_method

* MAINT: Remove unittest.TestCase from testing

* DOC: Update documentation for TestCase usage

tm.TestCase no longer follows the nosetest idiom,
so it is here to stay, so update the documentation
to say that we are using it still.

Closes pandas-devgh-15990.

* TST: Patch Circle matplotlib failure

The tm.mplskip decorator was breaking on Circle,
so this commit removes the decorator and replaces it
with direct function calls to check for matplotlib.

* TST: Replace yield-based tests in test_query_eval

-Sometimes, it does make sense to bundle test functions together into a single class, either because the test file is testing multiple functions from a single module, and
-using test classes allows for better organization. However, instead of inheriting from ``tm.TestCase``, we should just inherit from ``object``:
