Description

Currently, some of the tests use the bears from actual `coala-bears` dependency. Since coala-quickstart has `dev` version of `coala-bears` as a dependency, upstream changes to the bears can cause the tests to fail (because a lot of filtering based on meta information like requirement version, CAN_DETECT capability, language, etc, is done in quickstart while selecting bears)

So instead of running tests on actual bears in coala-bears package, we should create our own TestBears and use them with ``TestUtilites.bear_test_module`` context. This will also speed up the testing time imo.

Research direction

Start in tests/generation/Bears.py and inspect the tests that currently use bears from the coala-bears dependency. Use the TestUtilites.bear_test_module context with locally defined TestBears, then run the affected test module to confirm the tests no longer depend on upstream bear metadata or behavior.
