Provide fixtures / some helpers to test an application using craft-providers
Metadata
Current evaluation
Enhancement request for reusable public test fixtures/helpers that simplify downstream mocking of elaborate LXD JSON responses; remains open, uncommented, and not maintainer-triaged.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: The concrete Lpcraft example demonstrates substantial downstream test-mocking complexity, and repository inspection found no craft_providers.testing module or equivalent public helpers. However, the issue has no maintainer response, assignee, or comments, and it leaves the desired fixture API, supported backends, packaging, and compatibility guarantees unspecified.

Issue body
e.g. since https://github.com/canonical/craft-providers/commit/42f7cc163e it got really elaborate, see mocking the JSON response in https://github.com/jugmac00/lpcraft/blob/d8cd3dfa7ffc3e99cb16ddc25ff7f3384b2ff94c/lpcraft/commands/tests/test_run.py#L1400-L1500
