[codetheweb]

Description of changes

Updates the Python test suite to remove Python SQLite-based test fixtures and adds test fixtures for testing against the Rust HTTP server. A few tests were not previously running against the Rust HTTP server.

Also makes a few adjustments to the Rust side to allow starting an ephemeral server.

• [x] Tests pass locally with pytest for python, yarn test for js, cargo test for rust
