Description

I think it'd be not terribly difficult to extend ctest to be able to provide some coverage over the non-simulation implementations of net/file by annotating the tests that are safe and applicable to run outside of simulation, and then extend TestRunner to be able to run a single-process database, and then point a fdbserver -r test at it.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing ctest setup and TestRunner in the repository. Identify tests that are safe to run outside simulation. Understand how the single process database is configured and how fdbserver r test works.
