[MNT] Replace Live Server Calls with Mocks in Unit Tests #1649

Description

@geetu040

Several tests currently rely on direct connections to the live server (production/test), which can cause race conditions, server overload, and sporadic failures (see #1586). To ensure these remain true unit tests, they should use mocks/patches instead of the remote server.

Steps:

  1. Identify tests using the remote server, e.g., marked with "production_server" or "test_server".
  2. Mock or patch requests.Session in tests relying on openml._api_calls._send_request. Alternatively, higher-level mocking can be used to simplify implementation.

Affected test files (can be separate sub-tasks/PRs):
