Allow autest-site extensions to register non-Python test files by suffix and load them without exec(). This lets autest run and list custom formats like .test.yaml while keeping the existing .test and .test.py behavior unchanged.

Allow ATS replay tests to be discovered directly from .test.yaml files so simple replay-based tests no longer need one-line Python wrappers. This keeps autest list lightweight by loading replay metadata without requiring ATS or Proxy Verifier binaries, while keeping existing ATSReplayTest wrapper-based tests working. The parallel runner now uses autest list for discovery so replay-only tests are included there too. This depends on the upstream AuTest custom test format support landing first: AuTestSuite/AuTest#1

suffix and load them without exec().
This lets autest run and list custom formats like .test.yaml while
keeping the existing .test and .test.py behavior unchanged.
For context, here is an ATS PR that uses this feature to run so-called ATSReplayTest test.yaml files:
