Tracked on [RSDEV-6165]

[Copilot]

Pull request overview

This PR adjusts live unit-test run frequencies (nightly/weekly gating) to reduce overall CI runtime (tracked in RSDEV-6165), and shortens/quietens parts of FPS testing to further cut execution time.

Changes:

• Updated many live test headers to add/modify test:donotrun context directives (e.g., move from nightly to weekly, or skip outside nightly).
• Reduced FPS test runtime by shortening per-FPS measurement windows and adjusting steady-state timing.
• Added frame-drop detection/logging tweaks in fps_helper.py and removed an obsolete DDS detection test.

@OhadMeir we need to decide 2 things.

1. We still we need a minimal test for most features (like rec & play) for example, are they any left at gating
2. If we remove all IQ , FW will need to use nightly as gating

Restored IQ tests. Used nightly run to measure tests run time and as gating it run faster.
The mechanism of using test context to set iterations/parameters is good but confused me when checking the times.

Other features I left at nightly only, such as FW errors, FW logs, embedded filters, safety camera tests, etc, as these are features that seldom update even in FW.
