Create comprehensive test suite for ioBroker.repochecker

[Copilot]

This PR implements a complete test framework for the ioBroker.repochecker tool as requested. The test suite validates that error codes, warnings, and suggestions are properly triggered and provides a solid foundation for systematic testing of all checker modules.

Test Infrastructure

The implementation includes:

• Node.js built-in test runner with TAP output and parallel execution
• Custom test runner (test/test-runner.js) with progress reporting and failure analysis
• Comprehensive test helpers for context creation and error code validation
• Rich test fixtures with valid/invalid package.json and io-package.json samples
• GitHub Actions workflow for automated CI/CD testing across Node.js 18.x, 20.x, 22.x

Test Coverage

Currently 18+ tests are passing covering core functionality:

Package.json Validation (M000)

// Tests forbidden dependencies
const context = testHelper.createMockContext({
    packageJson: {
        dependencies: { npm: '^8.0.0' } // Triggers error
    }
});
await M000_PackageJson.checkPackageJson(context);
assert.ok(testHelper.hasErrorCode(context, 'npm error'));

README Validation (M600)

• E601: Missing README.md file
• E603: Missing Changelog section
• E604: Missing License section
• E606: Current version not found in README
• E607: Future year in copyright

GitHub Repository Validation (M800)

• E801: No repository description
• E802: No repository topics
• E803: Archived repositories not allowed

Working Error Codes

• Forbidden dependencies: npm, iobroker.js-controller, @iobroker/plugin-sentry
• Deprecated packages: request package warnings
• Configuration suggestions: S052 unnecessary publishConfig
• JSON parse errors: E100 simulation

Usage

npm test                    # Run all tests
node --test test/unit/      # Run unit tests only
node --test test/integration/ # Run integration tests only
node test/test-runner.js    # Use custom test runner with detailed output

Documentation

The test suite includes comprehensive documentation explaining:

• How to add new tests for error codes
• Test helper utilities and their usage
• Troubleshooting common test issues
• Architecture and design decisions
• Future improvements needed for complete coverage

CI/CD Integration

Added GitHub Actions workflow (.github/workflows/test.yml) that:

• Runs on push/PR to main branches
• Tests across Node.js 18.x, 20.x, 22.x
• Executes linting and full test suite
• Validates CLI functionality

Foundation for Future Work

While this PR establishes a working test foundation, complete coverage of all ~500 error codes will require additional work to:

• Mock network requests for offline testing
• Implement file system mocking for repository structure tests
• Complete context setup for complex validation scenarios
• Systematically test remaining modules (M250-M900)

The infrastructure provided supports adding these tests incrementally while maintaining the working foundation.

Addressing #505.
