DLT Gateway:
- Improved/extended Dockerfile
- Moved Dockerfile to correct folder
- Corrected import path for proto files

Consolidating commong fixtures in a single file at the root of the tests folder. Updating ECOC'22 and OFC'22 tests to use it.

Fixing some imports and branching a fixture file for each test case so that they can have particularities.

Including the validation of creation of KPIs and their values to the OFC'22 test set. Also consolidating the fixtures into a single file in the root of the 'src/tests' folder so that all tests can import from it.
