Update kotest to 6.2.4, and drop the module it absorbed

[Jake-Moore]

io.kotest:kotest-framework-datatest was never published past 5.9.1. Its contents moved into
kotest-framework-engine, which already arrives transitively through kotest-runner-junit5, so
there is nothing to migrate to and nothing to replace it with.

Renovate moved every kotest artifact together through the shared version reference and asked for a
coordinate that does not exist, so #52 failed at dependency resolution before compiling anything.
That is why it failed in two minutes rather than the four a real test run takes:

Could not find io.kotest:kotest-framework-datatest:6.2.4.

It was never used

There is no io.kotest.datatest import and no withData anywhere in either test source set. It has
been an unused dependency for as long as it has been declared, and it only became visible when it
stopped existing.

Nothing else in the major needed changing

KotestConfig extends AbstractProjectConfig and sets a spec execution order, which is the kind of
API that usually moves in a framework major. It did not. No call site changed, and the run produces
no kotest deprecation warnings.

Verified against the authoritative Maven metadata rather than the search index, which is stale and
still reports 6.0.0.M4 as newest:

artifact	latest	6.x
kotest-runner-junit5	6.2.4	yes
kotest-assertions-core	6.2.4	yes
kotest-property	6.2.4	yes
kotest-framework-engine	6.2.4	yes
kotest-framework-datatest	5.9.1	none

And that io/kotest/datatest/ really is inside kotest-framework-engine-jvm-6.2.4.jar.

Tests

319 green, detekt clean.

Supersedes #52, which cannot pass as generated.
