Description

When running pcstac tests, we assume https://github.com/microsoft/planetary-computer-apis/blob/f2cff0d019b80dd6de0f528abb3bd5ef04b36007/scripts/setup#L30-L34 has being ran first.

This could be replaced by something like: https://github.com/developmentseed/planetary-computer-apis/blob/refactorTests/pcstac/tests/conftest.py#L19-L115

Note: ☝️ approach also remove the code duplication with pcstac.main

This is also linked to #31 because loadtestdata.py assume pypgstac is available in the environment (which should only be in the dev environment)

Research direction

Start with pcstac/tests/conftest.py and compare it with the setup steps in scripts/setup and the duplicated logic in pcstac.main. Then inspect loadtestdata.py and issue #31, especially how the tests obtain pypgstac. Done means tests can run without altering existing database entries and without requiring pypgstac outside the development environment.
