Remove Honeybadger Gem

[prdanelli]

This might be a little forward of me however the Gem causes an almost intolerable amount of log noise when used with Ruby 2.7.x.

It doesn't seem that the Gem is extensively used around the application and rom my foray round the codebase it seems that the Gem version was last updated about 4 years ago in the following commit:

918ccae

I realise this might be controvertial, however if an organisation needs Honeybadger, wouldn't they also likely require a version less than 4 years old and if so, would likely be able to install it themselves.

@orangewolf I've been asked to ping you on this one too as you might be interested.

@prdanelli this works for me. I'd ultimately like to set up a library that lets you swap your choice of exception handler (something like ActiveJob or ActiveRecord, but for exceptions). Since that doesn't exist as far as I can tell, at least pulling out this very specific vendor choice seems like the right thing to me.

+1 to this, in general.

but also, note that the chatty Ruby 2.7 deprecation notices were silenced in Ruby 2.7.2 (see: https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/17000). Hyrax turns them off in the test suite with: $VERBOSE = nil.
