Use test database for all tests

Alejo Carballude requested to merge feature/fix_test_database_initialization into feature/code_refactor

Context

Tests need to initialize database tables and data in order to work. Cloudsim automatically appends a _test suffix to the database name when running tests.

Some tests have their own database initialization code and were manually calling ign.NewDatabaseConfigFromEnvVars and ign.InitDbWithCfg. These calls do not append the _test suffix automatically, which made tests operate on the application database directly.

Change

A helper function gorm.GetTestDBFromEnvVars() is available to get a test database. This function does append the _test suffix before creating and returning a database connection.

Other information

Using an alternative DB should not be configured in the code, but through an environment variable used when testing instead.
