gh-138013: Remove `test_io` load_tests namespace manipulation (#138366)

Reduce what happens in `load_tests` so that the next change,
moving the `Buffered*` tests to `test_bufferdio` is purely mechanical
movement and updating imports.

This adds two classes, one per I/O implementation, to act as dispatch to
the implementation-specific mocks as well as module members. Previously
the mappings CTestCase and PyTestCase provide were injected directly
during `load_tests`.

CTestCase and PyTestCase inherit from `unittest.TestCase` so when the
split happens default test discovery will work for the classes in
`test_bufferedio`. `test_general` keeps a manual test list for this
refactoring; some of the tests (ex. `ProtocolsTest`) aren't currently
run and fixing that + helpers to not be picked up is out of my current
scope.

CTestCase and PyTestCase have an `io` class member which points to the
implementation meaning that can be removed from individual test cases
which now inherit from them.

This code is picking up `MockRawIO` which is defined globally in the
module but these should use the mock specific to the I/O implementation
being tested.
