Improvements overall to Nu. Also among the changes here, we can also be more confident towards incorporating `3041`. End to end tests for checking envs properly exported to externals is not added here (since it's in the other PR)
A few things added in this PR (probably forgetting some too)
* no writes happen to history during test runs.
* environment syncing end to end coverage added.
* clean up / refactorings few areas.
* testing API for finer control (can write tests passing more than one pipeline)
* can pass environment variables in tests that nu will inherit when running.
* No longer needed.
* no longer under a module. No need to use super.
