Remove the need for simapp in 08-wasm module

[damiannolan]

Summary

It should be possible to refactor the tests in 08-wasm such that it does not rely on needing an entire simapp.

We only use a single test chain in 08-wasm and what we depend on mostly is the MockVM implementation. Investigate removal of the simapp in 08-wasm and adapting tests to not depend so heavily on it.

Hey @duonghb53, I'm not longer maintainer on this repo. Maybe @AdityaSripal or @gjermundgaraba can chime in.

Hi @gjermundgaraba I recently reviewed the testing section in module 08-wasm. Do you have any documentation or a discussion thread about removing simapp? I’m unsure about the scope of this issue. Could you please provide more details? Thanks!

[gjermundgaraba]

No, but the issue gives a hint: the goal is to remove the need for the 08-wasm tests to have a full simapp. Our other tests manage without it, so the goal here would be to get 08-wasm's tests to the same point.
