Remove mongo

[wtgee]

We no longer use mongo for our database storage but instead default to json flat files. We no longer wish to maintain mongo support as it is just adding extra dependencies that we don't need.

Describe the solution you'd like
Remove mongo from database.py and remove all references and usage of mongo. Also strip from the test suite (which will also help with #191).

Hi @ac-optimus , thanks for the interest. This has already been done actually and I just hadn't been good about marking the issue. It's not merged yet but is a part of #951.

I'm happy to suggest some other issues. Are you looking at a GSoC application?

@wtgee thanks a lot! could you please suggest some issues. I am new to this organisation and would love to contribute. Yes I am also looking at GSOC application, though I was not able to direct myself to the project ideas page. Can you share some related information?

I'll try to update the page later today. It's currently just blank! Thanks for the interest. I'll let you know here when updated as well.

@ac-optimus actually there is some work related to this in our panoptes-utils repo if you want to take a stab at it. Sorry, this will probably be done by the time you read this. :)

Just as an FYI, we don't yet know for sure whether we will be selected as a GSoC project (announced Feb. 20).

hi @wtgee just saw your message 😅. Can you suggest some other issue that I can try my hands on?
Yeah, I am aware of that fact but I would still want to contribute!
Thanks
