Slim down mockery when loaded as a dependency

[axlon]

This pull request slims down Mockery as a dependency by removing all unnecessary files from distributions. This means that if you install Mockery via Composer you will no longer have Mockery's tests and meta files in your vendor directory.

We've seen this a couple of times in #610 and #641 and I turned it down, but would be happy to know what the general consensus is...

My personal reasoning:
I was writing a test and as I typed extends Test a bunch of Mockery's own tests showed up, rather than what I was looking for (which was MockeryTestCase).

From my point of view there is no benefit to having Mockery's tests be included in vendor, because you will never run them from there. Say I would want to make a change to Mockery's code I wouldn't be doing that from my project's vendor directory.

I agree with the PR FWIW; I support to slim down packages to their relevant runtime parts only (and some very useful meta files like readme/changelog/etc/.)

[martinssipenko]

I think this change makes sense.

i just wanted to create the same PR for the same reason 😄 If you really need the tests, then clone the whole repo or whatever. See also this interesting discussion: symfony/symfony#33579 and this environment statistic: Codeception/Codeception#5527 (comment) Save the 🌍

PS: PhpUnit also excluded the test files just a few hours ago ;)

👍 I still don't like it, but I think it makes sense to move forward this way.
