fix(020_17/18/19/20): pair temporal POST with current-state POST in setup

Ken Zangelinrequested to merge
fix/020-partial-attr-update-sweep into develop

Per testsuite-doubts.md #9 (closed): each test's Create Temporal Entity setup only did POST /temporal/entities; the body's DELETE /entities/{id}/attrs/{name} then 404'd because the entity had no current-state representation. No deletedAt tombstone was written, so the temporal-evolution assertion failed for the entire 020_17..020_20 cluster (8 test cases).

Changes:

  • Two new minimal current-state fixtures matching the temporal payloads:
    • data/entities/vehicle-different-attribute-types.jsonld for the fuelLevel/isParkedIn/name family (020_17, 020_18).
    • data/entities/vehicle-with-scope.jsonld for the scope family (020_19, 020_20).
  • In all four Create Temporal Entity setups: prepend a Create Entity call with the matching fixture, asserting 201 on creation. Document inline why the pair is necessary (spec § 10.2.7 vs § 11.2.2).
  • The subsequent POST /temporal/entities is now valid to return 201 (created) or 204 (appended to existing) per TS 104-175 § 11.2.2.5, so the strict 201 check is relaxed to a Should Be True ... in ["201", "204"].

Result: 020_17_01 (Property) and 020_18_01 (Property + temporalValues) pass. The four non-Property cases (Relationship/LanguageProperty/Scope) still fail, but on a different root cause now surfaced — a broker bug where the deletedAt tombstone collapses all attribute kinds into Property with urn:ngsi-ld:null, losing the original kind. That broker fix belongs in its own MR; documented as a new testsuite-doubts entry alongside the marker on #9 (closed).
