Mock web api for dashboard tests (#1116)

* Add important comment into Github Workflow before running orion sever, about necessary `ulimit -n` to set so that MongoDB works correctly.

* Add a script to call orion server with requests.
Add script to Github workfloe 3 times.
Also run playwright 3 times.

* Add starting message, and request timeout (10 minutes).

* Remove urls.json, directly add urls into script.

* Try to increase ulimit -i, -l and -u

* Try to set soft ulimit

* Do not try anymore to set ulimit.

* Get back to PickledDB for frontend unit tests.

* Back to MongoDB.

* Add a fake server to mock orion server for dashboard tests.

* Use fake server in dashboard tests.

* Move back to original call_orion_server
Create gunicorn_tmp_dir in CI before launching fake server

* Clean-up and add doc.
