Description

Currently the test runner does not respect https://docs.python.org/3/library/unittest.html#setupmodule-and-teardownmodule, this needs fixing.

This is somewhat related to #51 , as we should probably reuse Python's test loader / runner, and hook TestSlide into them, so we can avoid similar potential issues in the future.

This will likely require implementing @context.before_once and @context.after_once at TestSlide's DSL.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the Python unittest module's setUpModule/tearDownModule implementation and trace how TestSlide's test runner currently processes modules. Then add support by implementing @context.before once and @context.after once decorators in TestSlide's DSL, tying them into the test lifecycle.
