Subject: [PATCH] fix: respect autoAppLaunch config option in test fixture
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The autoAppLaunch config option was already honoured by the launcher
(installAndLaunchApps), but the @mobilewright/test fixture ignored it
and always terminated + relaunched the app before every test whenever
bundleId was set.

This adds autoAppLaunch as a proper fixture option (read from config,
overridable per-test) and guards the terminate/launch block so that
setting autoAppLaunch: false skips the relaunch — leaving the app in
whatever state it is already in.
