Improve automated test run speed for Aspire-enabled Boilerplate projects (#12332)

[yasmoradi]

closes #12332

Summary

When running dotnet test on an Aspire-enabled Boilerplate project, the AppHost starts all resources defined — including admin UIs, dev tunnels, telemetry listeners, and MAUI device emulators. These add significant startup time without providing any value during automated tests.

This PR updates TestsAssemblyInitializer.cs to remove the following unnecessary resources before building and starting the Aspire app:

• DevTunnelResource / DevTunnelPortResource
• Database admin UIs: DbGateContainerResource (SqlServer), PgAdminContainerResource (PostgreSQL), PhpMyAdminContainerResource (MySQL), SqliteWebResource (Sqlite)
• Redis UI tools: RedisInsightResource, RedisCommanderResource
• MAUI device resources: MauiAndroidDeviceResource, MauiAndroidEmulatorResource
• OTLP loopback resource

Only essential infrastructure (databases, Redis, etc.) runs during tests, reducing startup time considerably.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Chores
  • Optimized test infrastructure by streamlining Aspire test host setup to remove unnecessary resources during testing, improving test reliability and performance.

Walkthrough

File header updated with a build directive. The RunAspireHost method refactored to remove a comprehensive set of unnecessary Aspire resources before starting the test host, including dev tunnels, database UIs, Redis tools, MAUI device resources, and OTLP loopback listeners. Builder variable renamed and project-resource removal expanded. Connection-string wiring now uses the filtered resource set.

Summary

Aspire host resource cleanup and build directive src/Templates/Boilerplate/Bit.Boilerplate/src/Tests/Infrastructure/TestsAssemblyInitializer.cs

File header updated with //+:cnd:noEmit. RunAspireHost method refactored to filter and remove unnecessary resources (dev tunnels, database admin UIs like PgAdmin and PhpMyAdmin, Redis UI tools, MAUI device/emulator resources, and OTLP loopback). Builder variable renamed to aspireAppBuilder, project-resource removal condition broadened to include IResourceWithParent<ProjectResource>, and connection-string environment setup updated to iterate over the cleaned resource set.

Poem

🐰 A cleanup sweep, so neat and clean,
Aspire resources we don't need—removed!
Dev tunnels gone, no UIs in the scene,
Test speeds quickened, no more snoozed.
Leaner tests now take their flight! ✨

Check name	Status	Explanation
Description Check	✅ Passed	Check skipped - CodeRabbit’s high-level summary is enabled.
Title check	✅ Passed	The title clearly summarizes the main change: improving test run speed by removing unnecessary Aspire resources, which matches the core objective.
Linked Issues check	✅ Passed	The code changes implement all requirements from #12332: removing unnecessary Aspire resources (DevTunnel, admin UIs, Redis tools, MAUI devices, OTLP loopback) before building the app.
Out of Scope Changes check	✅ Passed	All changes are scoped to the required file and functionality; the refactoring of resource removal logic and builder variable renaming are direct implementations of the stated objective.
Docstring Coverage	✅ Passed	Docstring coverage is 100.00% which is sufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%.
