Prototype spread extension mechanism (test driver)
Metadata
Current evaluation
Maintainer task to prototype a spread extension script decoupling test definitions from command handling; current code has spread/.extension and TestingService using it.
Suggested action: close resolved
Reason: PR #694 (commit 4910b2d8) added `spread/.extension` and `TestingService`, which implement the requested prepare/restore and ad-hoc backend handling; the current code still references this script. The issue appears resolved by that merged PR.

Issue body
### What needs to get done
The spread extension sits between the spread test definition and the actual actions being executed, decoupling the test implementation from the test command handling in craft-application. Implement a script that handles prepare/restore actions and ad-hoc testing backends.
### Why it needs to get done
To exercise and validate the testing framework with a real project.
