Remove mock dependency (#8630)

Fixes https://github.com/certbot/certbot/issues/7913.

I only added the deprecation warning to `certbot.tests.util` because that's the only place where I think someone could be using the `mock` module through our API.

* remove external mock from acme

* update Certbot's mock usage

* remove mock dependency in plugins

* remove external mock from compatibility test

* add changelog entry
