Description
The supported_tests are defined twice, both on [common_functions.sh](https://github.com/adoptium/aqa-tests/blob/master/external/common_functions.sh#L33) and [external.sh](https://github.com/adoptium/aqa-tests/blob/master/external/external.sh#L36)
We should investigate why this is so and remove that duplication if need be.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Read external/common_functions.sh around line 33 and external/external.sh around line 36, comparing how supported_tests is defined and used. Trace why both definitions exist, then confirm that removing the duplication leaves one working definition and that the supported-test handling remains consistent.
