justusbunsi 8c4e8e8f30 Introduce bash scripting unittests (#724)
### Description of the change

This adds an environment for unit testing our bash scripts, using [BATS](https://github.com/bats-core/bats-core).
It implements first tests for `config_environment.sh`.

### Benefits

Writing unit tests for bash scripts documents the expected behavior and allows it being a quality gate in our CI.

### Possible drawbacks

Not everyone is familiar with this approach and unit testing framework. Me neither, it took me some hours to get into it.

### Applicable issues

- Related to #691 where an issue in `config_environment.sh` was detected. It doesn't fixes it yet. This will be a dedicated Pull Request.

### Additional information

I've verified that the changes for Renovate are indeed working.

You may wonder why there is only one `run $PROJECT_ROOT/scripts/init-containers/config/config_environment.sh` and many `run execute_test_script` calls.
Usually, testing a script itself would be executing `run $PROJECT_ROOT/scripts/init-containers/config/config_environment.sh`. You then can assert the exit code and other things. Since the `config_environment.sh` exports environment variables and we are not able to access them from outside a `run` execution, the function `execute_test_script` wraps our script execution between environment comparison. Doing so allows us capture environment variables that were added/removed during script execution.

# Contribution Guidelines
Any type of contribution is welcome; from new features, bug fixes, tests,
refactorings for easier maintainability or documentation improvements.
## Development environment
- [`node`](https://nodejs.org/en/) at least current LTS
- [`helm`](https://helm.sh/docs/intro/install/)
- `make` is optional; you may call the commands directly
When using Visual Studio Code as IDE, a [ready-to-use profile](.vscode/) is available.
## Documentation Requirements
The `README.md` must include all configuration options.
The parameters section is generated by extracting the parameter annotations from the `values.yaml` file, by using [this tool](https://github.com/bitnami-labs/readme-generator-for-helm).
If changes were made on configuration options, run `make readme` to update the README file.
The ToC is created via the VSCode [Markdown All in One](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=yzhang.markdown-all-in-one) extension which can/must also be used used to update it.
## Pull Request Requirements
When submitting or updating a PR:
- make sure it passes CI builds.
- do not make independent changes in one PR.
- try to avoid rebases. They make code reviews for large PRs and comments much harder.
- if applicable, use the PR template for a well-defined PR description.
- clearly mark breaking changes.
## Local development & testing
For local development and testing of pull requests, the following workflow can
be used:
1. Install `minikube` and `helm`.
1. Start a `minikube` cluster via `minikube start`.
1. From the `gitea/helm-chart` directory execute the following command.
This will install the dependencies listed in `Chart.yml` and deploy the current state of the helm chart found locally.
If you want to test a branch, make sure to switch to the respective branch first.
`helm install --dependency-update gitea . -f values.yaml`.
1. Gitea is now deployed in `minikube`.
To access it, it's port needs to be forwarded first from `minikube` to localhost first via `kubectl --namespace
default port-forward svc/gitea-http 3000:3000`.
Now Gitea is accessible at [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000).
### Unit tests
#### Helm templating tests
```bash
# install the unittest plugin
$ helm plugin install https://github.com/helm-unittest/helm-unittest
# run the Helm unittests
make unittests-helm
```
See [plugin documentation](https://github.com/helm-unittest/helm-unittest/blob/main/DOCUMENT.md) for usage instructions.
#### Bash script tests
```bash
# setup the environment
git submodule update --init --recursive
# run the bash tests
make unittests-bash
```
See [bats documentation](https://bats-core.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) for usage instructions.
## Release process
1. Create a tag following the tagging schema
1. Push the tag
1. Let CI do it's work
