Merge #16961: test: Remove python dead code linter

f4beb4996d test: Remove python dead code linter (Wladimir J. van der Laan)

Pull request description:

  Primarily I'd like to remove this because it is very imprecise, due to Python's dynamic nature, giving it a large list of false positives that need to be listed as exceptions. See for example #16906.

  It's also a frequent source of complaints. I'm doubtful of the usefulness of checking for dead code in a linter in the first place.
  Having some dead code in the test framework for a while is not a
  disaster.
