Research direction

Start with ci/scripts/cpp_test.sh and read the referenced comment in pull request 49819 for the intended include/exclude behavior. Add environment-variable support without requiring changes to the script for routine CI adjustments, then verify that the script can both include and exclude tests as requested.

Description

Component: C++ Component: Packaging Type: enhancement
Describe the enhancement requested

Add an environment variable to include / exclude tests so that ci/scripts/cpp_test.sh can exclude/include tests as needed.

This will allow easier CI adjustments to include/exclude tests without changing the test script itself.
