Pull request overview
This PR refactors SQL Server configuration in Azure DevOps pipelines by centralizing password management and adding diagnostic capabilities for macOS agent setup.
Changes:
- Removed password parameter passing through template layers, replacing it with direct use of the
$(Password)variable from the ADO Library "ADO Test Configuration Properties" - Removed temporary password generation/verification steps from the test job template
- Added documentation comments explaining the Password variable source across all SQL Server configuration step templates
- Enhanced macOS SQL Server setup with timestamp-based diagnostic output and improved error message clarity
- Cleaned up trailing whitespace throughout the pipeline files

I ensured we're defining this parameter as an enum everywhere since we're doing string comparisons to make decisions based on it.

We dont' need to generate a GUID and use it as a password. Our Library already has a $(Password) variable meant for SQL Server SA and User passwords.

Diagnostic to see how long each command takes. Azure DevOps refuses to consistently show timestamps.

There's no way to supply the job timeout based on arithmetic because of the way ci-run-tests-job is designed, so we need to increase the timeout for all test jobs. Fingers crossed an extra 10 minutes eliminates the macOS cancellations.
