Description

Remove usage of unreachable Mementoweb services in tests

Description:

Neither mementoweb.org nor timetravel.mementoweb.org is reachable. Their usage in tests produces a lot of errors.
Remove references to these services from tests.
The memento client may still be used with http://web.archive.org/web. See weblinkchecker as an example, but test it.

Note: The memento client package has not been maintained for 8 years and TimeTravel was shut down on 5 September 2025
