feat(testing): add flash-testing, a JUnit 5 harness for Flash applications

Boots a real app on an OS-assigned port for a test class or a single test and
hands back a client pointed at it:

    @RegisterExtension
    static FlashTest app = FlashTest.of(new BlogApp())
            .mock(UserService.class, new InMemoryUserService());

    app.get("/api/users").expectStatus(200).expectBodyContains("alice");

A field rather than an annotation, because annotation values are compile-time
constants and so could never express a second server wired from the first —
FlashTest.of(new BlogApp(auth.baseUri())). Startup is lazy, so reading
baseUri() boots that server on the spot and declaration order does the wiring,
with no dependence on JUnit's extension ordering. A static field boots once per
class, a non-static field once per test; that is stock JUnit field semantics
rather than an option to configure.

Runs against a real loopback port instead of dispatching in-process. An
in-process dispatcher would be a third copy of the routing/handler/exception
sequence that Http1Connection and Http2StreamDispatcher already duplicate, kept
in sync by hand, and it would let a test pass while the status line,
content-length or HPACK encoding was broken.

mock() installs overrides as the last extension, after everything the
application and its extensions declare, so a fake always wins. Any object is
accepted, so a hand-written fake and a Mockito mock are equally welcome and
this module depends on no mocking library — only flash and junit-jupiter-api.

Teardown cancels the client before stopping the server: HttpClient holds
keep-alive sockets open and ServerLifecycle.stop() spins until the last one
closes, so the default 15s drain would otherwise be paid on every test class.
shutdownNow rather than close(), which blocks until every operation completes
and would hang on a leaked WebSocket.

Lives at the top level, not under flash-extensions/, which holds things you
install() onto an app; this carries junit-jupiter-api at compile scope and
nothing installable should.

## Testing
`flash-testing` boots a real app on an OS-assigned port for the duration of a test, and hands you
a client pointed at it. Add it with test scope:
```xml
<dependency>
<groupId>dev.relism</groupId>
<artifactId>flash-testing</artifactId>
<version>${flash.version}</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
```
```java
class UserRoutesTest {
@RegisterExtension
static FlashTest app = FlashTest.of(new BlogApp())
.mock(UserService.class, new InMemoryUserService());
@Test
void listsUsers() {
app.get("/api/users")
.expectStatus(200)
.expectHeader("content-type", "application/json")
.expectBodyContains("alice");
}
}
```
`FlashTest.of` takes a `FlashApplication` — your app's routes, extensions and services expressed
independently of which port they run on:
```java
public final class BlogApp implements FlashApplication {
@Override public void configure(FlashApp app) {
app.install(new JacksonExtension());
app.mount("/api", scope -> scope.scan("dev.blog.api"));
}
}
FlashApp.create(8080).apply(new BlogApp()).startAndBlock(); // production
```
It is a functional interface, so a lambda works too:
`FlashTest.of(app -> app.get("/ping", (req, res) -> "pong"))`.
### Requests
The HTTP verb sends the request; `expect*` assertions chain and report the real response body on
failure. `get` and `delete` skip the builder when there is nothing to add.
```java
app.get("/api/users").expectStatus(200);
app.request()
.header("Authorization", "Bearer " + token)
.json("{\"name\":\"bob\"}")
.post("/api/users")
.expectStatus(201);
try (FlashWebSocket socket = app.ws("/live")) {
socket.sendText("hello");
assertEquals("echo:hello", socket.awaitText(Duration.ofSeconds(2)));
}
```
### Replacing services
`mock` installs replacements after everything your app and its extensions declare, so a fake always
wins. Any object will do — `flash-testing` depends on no mocking library, so a hand-written fake and
a Mockito mock are equally welcome.
### More than one server
`FlashTest` is an ordinary object in a field, so a test class can hold as many as it needs and wire
one from another in plain Java. Startup is lazy — reading `baseUri()` boots that server on the spot
— so declaration order does the wiring:
```java
@RegisterExtension static FlashTest auth = FlashTest.of(new FakeOidcApp());
@RegisterExtension static FlashTest api = FlashTest.of(new BlogApp(auth.baseUri()));
```
### Scope
A `static` field boots once for the test class; a non-static field boots a fresh app for every test.
That is stock JUnit field semantics — the isolation switch is the keyword, not an option.
### Configuration
`profile` customises the `FlashConfiguration` — timeouts, HTTP/2 switches, buffer sizes. Host, port
and the shutdown drain window are stamped afterwards, so a profile cannot break the harness;
`listener(...)` and `tls(...)` are rejected because the harness owns the loopback listener it gives
you a client for.
```java
FlashTest.of(new BlogApp()).profile(cfg -> cfg.http2CleartextEnabled(true));
```
