Pruning the conda-build test cases

[sven6002]

Summary

The testing strategy for the conda-build repo is currently outdated and was last maintained thoroughly 6 years ago. So just as (a reference to Star Trek) USS Enterprise underwent multiple refits, redesigns, and upgrade-based missions it was tasked with and the captains that led those missions.

As the orbital shipyard is used for such a purpose URSA team is also updating and re-formatting / redesigning the test cases for conda-build right now.
