Description
As part of some work in the core Flagsmith repository, we found that there isn't currently a good, generic solution for mocking the flagsmith client to return a given value for a flag at a given time. The ideal implementation as I see it would be to build a fixture that can be used as a context manager, or a function that looks something like this:
```python
def my_test_function(set_flags: FlagsmithSetFlagsFixture) -> None:
with override_flagsmith(flags=[Flag(name="foo", enabled=True, value="foobar")]):
# in here, any calls to Flags.is_feature_enabled,Flags.get_flag and Flags.get_feature_value
# for the feature "foo" will return the values provided as an argument to override_flagsmith
...
def my_other_test_function(set_flags: FlagsmithSetFlagsFixture) -> None:
set_flags(flags=[Flag(name="foo", enabled=True, value="foobar")])
# For the remainder of this test, any calls to Flags.is_feature_enabled,Flags.get_flag
# and Flags.get_feature_value for the feature "foo" will return the values provided as
# an argument to override_flagsmith
```

Research direction
Start by reading the pytest-plugin discussion in PR #5108 and the requested fixture and context-manager examples in this issue. Done means a reusable pytest fixture or context manager overrides is_feature_enabled, get_flag, and get_feature_value for supplied Flag values within the test scope.
