The mock backends in ``qiskit.test.mock`` now have a functional ``run()``
method that will return results similar to the real devices. If
``qiskit-aer`` is installed a simulation will be run with a noise model
built from the device snapshot in the fake backend. Otherwise,
:class:`qiskit.providers.basicaer.QasmSimulatorPy` will be used to run an
ideal simulation. Additionally, if a pulse experiment is passed to ``run``
and qiskit-aer is installed the ``PulseSimulator`` will be used to simulate
the pulse schedules.
