Instead of loading all themes for each set of tests in the e2e suite, only load the frontend at all for frontend tests, and only load themes for the theme tests.

- Being able to set up test suites without blocking a port opens a door to new ways to run tests - for example this has been one of the blockers for running mocha tests in parallel
- Additional benefit is lighter statrup, which reducec the test execution time slightly. Doesn't seem like much but these things stack up!

- we nuke and reinitialize the DB many times between tests
- this forms a good portion of the time taken and we shouldn't be spending
so much time on just resetting the DB back to a known state
- this commit switches out the knex-migrator reset + init calls for SQLite to
a function which keeps a clean copy of the DB and copies the file back
when we "reset"
- for MySQL, existing functionality is kept
- this massively speeds up tests because it saves ~700ms+ for every reset
- whilst this change seems to work, it's just the start so there's a
lot more refactoring needed. this change is currently gated to CI until
it's deemed safe/sane enough to run on local machines without blowing
up

- Allows to fully start an instance with a custom routes.yaml file without a need to do workarounds - e.g. we used to call an internal Admin API from a regression test suite, which is not a good practice
- Providing "routesFilePath" to startGhost method copies that file to the default settings location and start the instance with that configuration. No need to do API calls or check if the routing service "isFinished"
no issue
- this commit adds a counter for the number of boots we do in tests
- which therefore allows us to calculate the average boot time we
experience
- only useful for debugging test performance

- This optimization is expected to play a role in more consistent "backend-only" boot where the previous test state might have left over a different theme version which might cause in unwanted URL Services reainitializations.
- What has been happening here is the themes.test.js suite was uploading a theme with a v4 api and when the users api test suite loaded up it switched back to a default v2 theme, which caused routing reinitialization
- The root problem here is the themese suite is leaving a mess behind so a "restartModeGhostStart" is not really possible anymore - this should be cleaned up separately
refs https://github.com/TryGhost/Toolbox/issues/135
- The global default should stay the same as it used to be and we can introduce an override for "withFrontend:false" on casa-by-case or area-by-area bases
refs https://github.com/TryGhost/Toolbox/issues/135
- When running e2e-API test in most cases there's no need to boot Ghost instance with full frontend. This should improve the boot time which should reflect on the speed of running test suites
- The tests where the "forceStart" and "withFrontend" are used together indicate that there's still some work to do to fully separate frontend/backend boot line. The force start is also unnecessary, but was needed to reinitialize all services properly - should be investigated!
- These two things are meant to improve performance at the cost of reliability.
- Perfect for testing, however I think they make a minimal impact on modern SSDs :(
- Still worth a shot to see if it helps with CI

Since we have a DynamicRedirectManager for handling adding/removing
redirects at runtime, we no longer need the custom-redirects middleware.
The redirects service does however need an init method now to add the
custom redirects at Ghost boot, so it's been refactored into our Class &
DI pattern.
