`tox` has been popular in times when it was easier to run a full Python test matrix on your workstation, for example supported by `pyenv`, compared to provisioning and maintaining it on a Jenkins CI runner. Nowadays, it became so easy to run the full-version test matrix on GitHub Actions (GHA), so `tox` became obsolete in such environments that heavily use GHA. Now that recent advancements added `uv` to the table, sandbox environments don't need to feel ousted.

The configuration for tox apparently does not receive much maintenance, so let's remove it. Personally, I stopped using it since ages.
