Description

Since pio test seems to be based on ThrowTheSwitch's Unity, it would be great also being able to use their CMock mocking framework, specially when compiling for platform native when a bunch of dependencies will fail to compile with native gcc.

Research direction

Start by reading the pio test implementation and its existing Unity integration, then inspect how platform native dependencies are compiled. Define what CMock support should cover, especially for native gcc builds, and verify that representative mocked tests and existing Unity tests still run successfully.
