[Testing] Mock 10% Persistence Module in Utility Tests

[andrewnguyen22]

Objective

Mock the Persistence Module for all Utility Testing

Origin Document

The Utility Module relies on the Persistence Module in order to execute all of it's testing:

See

func newTestPersistenceModule(_ *testing.M, databaseUrl string) modules.PersistenceModule {

Under utility/test

Goals

• Enabling utility tests for persistence business logic that doesn't exist
• Remove cross module imports in Utility
• Allow complete encapsulation of test suite in Utility
• Create a clear and understandable Mock

Deliverable

• Code complete implementation
• Plenty of comments in the Mock
• Updated changelog

Non-goals / Non-deliverables

• Little nits that have nothing to do with the issue

General issue deliverables

• Update the appropriate CHANGELOG
• Update any relevant READMEs (local and/or global)
• Update any relevant global documentation & references
• If applicable, update the source code tree explanation
• If applicable, add or update a state, sequence or flowchart diagram using mermaid

[Optional] Testing Methodology

• _REPLACE_ME: Make sure to update the testing methodology appropriately_
• Task specific tests: make ...
• All tests: make test_all
• LocalNet: verify a LocalNet is still functioning correctly by following the instructions at docs/development/README.md

Idea posted in #290 as a starting point for a discussion.

[Olshansk]

I scrapped the first iteration of the idea (using a passthrough) and submitted a second one (using mocks only). Looking for preliminary feedback to see if it meets the requirements of the ticket before I put more effort into it

See #290 as a reference for future iterations on this work

We have been using the persistence module directly for utility tests, so am closing this out until we refactor the test suite.
