removed tests/scripts folder with its contents

[Bhavam]

Fixes #7659
Hi @pradyunsg are the changes as per requirement and if you can give any help on if I need to change anything for the failing tests.

Thanks @Bhavam! This looks good to me.

Your PR seems to be missing a news file, as documented here. It's basically a file in the news/ folder with the appropriate name and a one line description.

Could you please a news entry associated with this PR?

[pradyunsg]

@Bhavam you'd want to run tox -e lint locally. There are code formatting tools that may run as a part of that (you'd want to commit those changes) and code quality checkers that would fail if the code does not meet those checks.

Looks like the only change being made as part of tox -e lint is adding a newline at the end of the file. You can probably just run tox -e lint and commit those changes to make things work. :)

Can we also remove the scripts/ bullet point under test/ from the developer docs?

One more comment otherwise this looks good to me.

Thank you for your help @Bhavam

Shouldn't the news entry have been a trivial one ?

It could go either way. I figure if someone was actually using this script, now they can just grep for it in the repo and see what happened vs git log -G.
