test(cli): extract the shared demo-project fixture helpers into tests/common (#223)

built_project/project_lock/ScratchPath/ScratchGuard move from their three
per-binary copies (cli_run.rs, research_docs.rs, project_load.rs's
built_fixture near-copy) into tests/common/mod.rs; project_load's one
shared-store-mutating test now takes the lock it previously lacked. The
module doc states the boundary plainly: the Mutex serializes threads
within one process only — process-parallel runners still race on the
shared fixture store (documented, dormant under cargo test's sequential
binaries; see the issue thread for the observed process-parallel repro).

//! Shared fixture helpers for the `aura-cli` end-to-end test binaries

//! and drive the `tests/fixtures/demo-project` fixture through the real
//! `aura` binary (#223).
//!
//! **Process-local serialization only.** [`project_lock`]'s `Mutex` is a
//! per-process `static`: it serializes test THREADS within one test-binary
//! process, but grants no cross-process exclusion. A process-parallel test
//! runner (e.g. `cargo-nextest`, which forks one process per test binary) —
//! or simply two concurrent `cargo test` invocations over the same working
//! tree — still race on the shared `tests/fixtures/demo-project/runs` store.
//! That boundary is a known, documented limitation (#223), not something
//! this module claims to close.
//!
//! Each of the three test binaries compiles this file as its own `mod
//! common`, so an item unused by one binary trips that binary's `-D
//! warnings` `dead_code` lint; see the `#[allow(dead_code)]` markers below
//! rather than deleting a helper just because one binary doesn't need it.
