Fixes #983.

Summary

Remove qiskit.providers.ibmq, in favour of the packaged qiskit-ibmq-provider, available at https://github.com/Qiskit/qiskit-ibmq-provider.

An initial "release candidate" version (0.1rc1) has been published in pip - until 0.8 is out, for accessing the online features from master the easiest way is probably to install the package:

pip install qiskit-ibmq-provider

Details and comments

Apart from removing the .py files, this PR:

  • adds the installation of the package to the CIs (same as qiskit-aer)
  • makes the qiskit.IBMQ member available only if the provider is installed (also following aer)
  • updates the requires_qe_access, failing if a test has not been skipped and the package is not present.
  • removes BaseFakeAPI from qiskit.test, as it was IBMQ-specific
  • updates backend monitor/overview (and its tests) for conditionally importing IBMQ - they are the only piece in terra using IBMQ.
