fix(tests): port tests to v2 API, fix FATAL_CHECK logic

- Port test_effect_base to EffectV2/SequenceV2
- Port test_demo_effects to v2 effects only
- Remove v1 lifecycle helpers from effect_test_helpers
- Fix cnn_test to not depend on cnn_v1_effect.h
- Fix test_sequence_v2_e2e node redeclaration

Known issue: test_sequence_v2_e2e still fails with bind group error
(needs source/sink texture views set)
