Hosam-Eldin Mostafa 8fa4cf0be1 refactor(tests): layer fixtures by adapter type (mum/psu/babylin)
Restructures tests/hardware/ so that fixture access is controlled by
directory layout — pytest only walks upward through conftest.py files,
so a PSU test physically cannot request fio/alm/nad.

Layout:
- tests/hardware/conftest.py           (unchanged: PSU fixtures)
- tests/hardware/mum/conftest.py       NEW: _require_mum (session autouse),
                                       fio (session), nad (session),
                                       alm (session), _reset_to_off
                                       (function autouse)
- tests/hardware/mum/**                MUM tests + swe5/ + swe6/
- tests/hardware/psu/**                PSU-only tests
- tests/hardware/babylin/**            deprecated BabyLIN E2E

What this removes (was duplicated before):
- 7 verbatim copies of the `fio` fixture
- 6 copies of the `alm` fixture
- 6 copies of the `_reset_to_off` autouse
- 9 inline `if config.interface.type != "mum": pytest.skip(...)` gates

What this changes by design:
- fio / alm / nad scope: module → session. NAD discovery happens once
  per run instead of once per module. The helpers are immutable beyond
  their constructor args, so sharing them is safe; per-test state is
  reset by the autouse `_reset_to_off`.
- test_overvolt.py: `_park_at_nominal` is now `_reset_to_off`, which
  cleanly overrides the conftest's LED-only version (PSU + LED reset).
- test_mum_alm_animation_generated.py keeps a local `_reset_to_off` +
  `_force_off` so its "no AlmTester anywhere" demonstration is preserved
  via fixture override; the local `nad` is also retained because it
  uses the typed `AlmStatus.receive` API.

Docs:
- docs/24_test_wiring.md NEW — describes the three-layer fixture
  topology, lifecycle sequence diagram, helper class wiring, and the
  playbook for adding a new framework component.
- docs/05_architecture_overview.md: add MCF (mum conftest) node to the
  Mermaid diagram + mention it in the components list.
- docs/19_frame_io_and_alm_helpers.md: replace the per-module
  fixture-wiring example with a request-fixtures-by-name snippet plus
  the override pattern.
- Path references swept across docs/02, docs/14, docs/18, docs/20,
  docs/README to point at the new locations.

Verified: pytest --collect-only collects 93 tests with no errors;
30 unit tests and 10 mock-only smoke tests pass; fixture-per-test
output shows PSU tests cannot see fio/alm/nad.
