gnu: Remove python-unittest2.

This package is no longer needed as per: "unittest2 is a backport of the
new features added to the unittest testing framework in Python 2.7 and
onwards.", it has no users in Guix.

* gnu/packages/check.scm (python-unittest2): Delete variable.

* gnu/local.mk (dist_patch_DATA): Deregister 2 patches.
* gnu/packages/patches/python-unittest2-python3-compat.patch: Delete file.
* gnu/packages/patches/python-unittest2-remove-argparse.patch: Likewise.
