Summary
In the previous update to the the quantum volume benchmarks the fake
melbourne class from the terra tests was used instead of hardcoding the
coupling map directly in the benchmark. However because this lives in
the terra tests python namespace it has a depedency on a bunch of test
requirements at import time (even though they're not used). This causes
the benchmarks to fail in a production environment because they do not
install the terra development/testing requirements in the venv used for
testing. To avoid this failure, this commit removes the fake backend
usage and switches to a hard coded coupling map which was just copied
from the backend code. [1]
