Refactor CppUTest tests to gtest about celix HOT 3 CLOSED

Comment by Johan:

Potential issues would be:

• CppUTest is easy to build for an end-user and is typically distributed with the package manager. For gtest+gmock this is not the case and the end-user needs to build and install from source by themselves. Alternatively Celix could bundle the binaries and headers, which would add work on the project side instead of the user side.
• gmock does not support mocking C functions exactly, there are ways of working around this[0][1] which either introduces extra boilerplate or an extra dependency.

With Conan package manager, one extra line like self.test_requires("gtest/1.10.0") will make gtest ready to use.

Mocking C functions is indeed an issue.

This has been addressed by #711.
