Add comprehensive test categories for Vue component lifecycle and behavior

- Add lifecycle testing utilities for mounting, unmounting, and prop updates
- Add computed property testing for values, dependencies, and caching
- Add watcher testing for triggers, cleanup, and deep watchers
- Add event modifier testing for .prevent, .stop, .once, and .self
- Update test utilities to be Vue 3 compatible with proxy system
- Apply new test categories to RegistrationNotice and LargeIdenticonModal
- Increase total test count from 149 to 175 tests with 100% pass rate
- Establish standardized patterns for comprehensive component testing

New test categories:
- Component Lifecycle Testing (mounting, unmounting, prop updates)
- Computed Property Testing (values, dependencies, caching)
- Watcher Testing (triggers, cleanup, deep watchers)
- Event Modifier Testing (.prevent, .stop, .once, .self)

Files changed:
- src/test/utils/testHelpers.ts (enhanced with new utilities)
- src/test/RegistrationNotice.test.ts (added 4 new test categories)
- src/test/LargeIdenticonModal.test.ts (added 4 new test categories)
