Remove light mode

[ccordoba12]

Fixes #2619

---

This is my decision as the current maintainer, so please don't complain about it.

Reasons for my decision (in decreasing order of importance):

• By removing Light Mode (LM) we have one less moving piece to worry about. Given Spyder's great complexity, I feel very good about it :-)
• LM is barely tested by our users
• LM makes MainWindow code much more complicated than it should be.
• Anaconda doesn't create a LM menu entry on Windows, so few users know about it.

One more reason I forgot to mention: people is using qtconsole as the equivalent of light mode.

I never used it anyway. Spyder's power is in all the tools it contains !

Agreed, thanks for understanding! :-)
