Description
The discussion we had at the hackathon was that by default the tests should be installed, and users should have to opt-out of the bad practice of not testing.
However, I think instead it might be simpler for everyone to not install the tests, unless the user runs nf-core modules patch and then the tests get installed. The tests would get removed when they remove the patch.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the nf-core modules install and nf-core modules patch command entry points and their current test-handling behavior. Resolve whether the desired change is an explicit --no-tests opt-out or installing tests only after patching, then define completion around consistent installation and removal behavior.
