Pull request overview

This PR updates the functional test suite for OpenVINO Model Server (OVMS) to prepare for changes in the testing flow. The changes include removing redundant tests, updating import statements to use absolute paths, and removing support for deprecated target devices.

Changes:

• Updated all import statements across test files to use fully qualified paths (e.g., from config → from tests.functional.config)
• Removed several test files for redundant test scenarios (batching, mapping, multi-models, update flows, and specific model types)
• Removed support for MYRIAD, HDDL, and CUDA target devices, consolidating to CPU, GPU, and NPU
• Added new helper functions and pytest markers for test organization
