Update test suite

[erik-brink]

Contents

This pull request includes significant updates to the testing configuration and test files, focusing on improving test setup and execution by introducing a custom configuration class and integrating it with existing tests.

Configuration Improvements:

• Added testpaths and addopts to pyproject.toml for better test discovery and stricter marker usage.

Custom Configuration Class:

• Introduced CustomConfig class in tests/conftest.py to wrap pytest.Config and dynamically manage configuration attributes.
• Added fixtures and helper functions in tests/conftest.py to support the custom configuration class and handle pytest configuration options.

Test File Updates:

• Updated tests/test_conf_template.ini to include general and HCP-specific configuration sections.
• Modified tests/test_hci.py and tests/test_hcp.py to utilize the new CustomConfig class for accessing configuration settings and HCP handler instances. [1] [2]

This update is:

• MAJOR - when you make incompatible API changes
• MINOR - when you add functionality in a backwards compatible manner
• PATCH - when you make backwards compatible bug fixes or documentation/instructions

Test Procedure
