Add contract test execution against a real (or emulated) Soroban RPC in CI

[fejilaup-cloud]

Labels: infrastructure, testing
Priority: High
Estimated Time: 3 hours

Description:
Current CI only builds/tests the workspace locally; once #48 (API integration tests) and the various contract-level testnet references (scripts/deploy_testnet.sh, contracts/atomic_swap/tests/testnet_integration.rs) mature, CI needs a way to run against something closer to a real network rather than only in-process unit tests.

Tasks:

• Stand up a local Soroban quickstart/emulator container in CI
• Add a CI job running testnet_integration.rs-style tests against it
• Document the difference between unit, local-emulated, and real-testnet test tiers

Hey! I can handle setting this up. I'll add the Soroban quickstart container service to the CI workflow, wire up the integration test step against it, and document the test tiers. Mind assigning it my way?
