Support the basic operation and awareness methods, then we could add more necessary convenient methods in order to support more flexible test purpose.

With PR #4311, we have found different bugs or flaws, which is the exact purpose of this service integration test framework. The related bug or flaw could be learned from PR #4324, PR #4318, and issue #4334.

There should be another issue created, But I fixed that issue manually in this PR #4311 within commit 73decf2, as a result of the slow pace of issue -> PR -> merge.

In view of this, I've change the plan to accomplish this integration test framework. And the pre-defined timeline should be rectified also.

Now, I've implemented basic features for this test framework. Next, I will continue on the simulation of network partition.

The timeline seems to be longer than expected, but in the development of test framework, there are different issues discovered and repaired. That's the exact purpose of developing such an integration test framework. I think that's OK.

For network partition feature in this integration test framework, we implement logic at the side of morpc.Client by taking advantage of its option morpc.WithBackendFilter.

All the basic features were completed. There may be some necessary updates needed in order to cope with practical requirements when using this framework.
