Delete branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
I think the Fox based testgui is not worth maintaining.
We can point users to hidapitester and hidpytoy.

@Youw Great. I am not a fan of auto-tools and I think CMake will be a bit better for HIDAPI (but I know libusb project rejected CMake ideas since auto-tools works fine)
Yeah, "If it is not broke, don’t fix it" - has its pros and cons
Close this since the latest README already mentioned that Test GUI is not actively being developed.
Interestingly TestGUI can still be built under the latest Ubuntu 26.04 once I install the dependency.
