Acquisition testcases with Qblox dummy data (QAE-791)

Gábor Oszkár Dénesrequested to merge
QAE-791-acquisition-testcases-with-dummy-data into release_0.13.0

Explanation of changes

This change adds new Qblox acquisition testcases, and modifies some old testcases to use the Qblox dummy acquisition capability.

Note: now the dummy acquisition data mocking is inside each testcase. The reason is that it is impossible to know which slot, sequencer, acquisition channel does the dummy acquisition data belongs to without knowing the schedule and the hardware config and the device config, and all three are only present at the same time in the testcase.

Motivation of changes

It is easy to make mistakes if we do not test how quantify-scheduler processes realistic acquisition data what's returned by qblox-instruments. Now, several tests ensure, that the data is processed as expected.
