The problem we have faced trying to implement the OSU benchmarks as a library in #2421 is that in the CSCS specialisation we wanted to set the
valid_systemsandvalid_prog_environsbased on theosu_binaries.build_typefixture parameter. This was only possible to achieve by creating explicitly different specialized tests for each build type, because we were not allowed to access fixtures before the setup stage. This PR solves this, allowing users to access fixtures as early as in a post-init hook. However, only fixture parameters are allowed to be accessed at this point, but it should be enough to serve us in almost all if not all scenarios. From the setup stage onward, there is no change in the behaviour compared to the past.
