Only show images during tests when requested via project property (#2177)

## Description

Revision of #2164. Instead of only running headless tests during a
build, now only the images are disabled. To reenable showing images, the
`enableTestUi` project property needs to be passed to gradle.

```bash
./gradlew test -PenableTestUi
```

To correctly run PhotonVision tests this way, you must [delegate the tests to Gradle](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/java/java-build#_delegate-tests-to-gradle). Debugging tests like this will [**not** currently](https://github.com/microsoft/build-server-for-gradle/issues/119) collect outputs.
### Running Tests With UI
By default, tests are run with UI disabled so they are not obtrusive during a build. All tests should be useful when the UI is disabled. However, if a particular test would benefit from having UI access (i.e. for debugging info), the UI can be enabled by passing the `enableTestUi` project property to Gradle. This will run all tests by default, but the Gradle `--tests` option can be used to [filter for specific tests](https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/java_testing.html#test_filtering).
```{eval-rst}
.. tab-set::
.. tab-item:: Linux
:sync: linux
``./gradlew test -PenableTestUi``
.. tab-item:: macOS
:sync: macos
``./gradlew test -PenableTestUi``
.. tab-item:: Windows (cmd)
:sync: windows
``gradlew test -PenableTestUi``
```
### Debugging PhotonVision Running Locally
Unit tests can instead be debugged through the ``test`` Gradle task for a specific subproject in VSCode, found in the Gradle tab:
