Transcript Testing was always an extremely brittle regression testing framework. We encourage all cmd2 users to use pytest for unit and integration tests and Robot Framework for acceptance tests. These frameworks are much more robust and you can use them to write tests that are less brittle.

This PR compeltely removes the Transcript Testing feature set.
Transcript Testing was always an extremely brittle regression testing framework that should never have been built into a library like
cmd2.We recommend using pytest for unit and integration tests and Robot Framework for acceptance tests. Both of these frameworks can be used to create tests which are far more reliable and less brittle.
