Alcotezt translation

• Goal: The goal of alcotezt is to replace the dependence of alcotest and using the tezt. The wrap alcotezt was implemented to help this translation.
• Expectation to finish is Mid-April.
• Deliver: The translation can be split into two sections: for non-protocol tests and for protocol tests:
  • Non-protocol tests: 38/47 MRs (8 MRs left to be merged)
  • Protocol tests: 15/15 MRs
• Note: most of the translation is strainghforward. The translation expose several flaky tests while running on Git CI. Some translation that is tricker like: p2p, lib_hacl.
