refactor(tests): streamline metrics tests and enhance project update logic

- Removed unnecessary environment config override call for metadata-only project updates in `createOrUpdateProjectWithLegacyConfig`.
- Updated internal metrics tests to replace fixed wait times with appropriate polling for asynchronous data ingestion, ensuring more reliable test outcomes.
- Added a new test case for handling non-existent config files in the local emulator project endpoint, improving error handling and user feedback.
