Complete GUI decoupling implementation for headless testing

- Implement MessageHandler pattern to decouple message sending from visualization
- Add HeadlessLoader to load simulations without GUI components
- Create HeadlessProtocolRunner for clean protocol test execution
- Update VSInternalProcess to use MessageHandler for message routing
- Add null checks in VSSimulator for headless mode compatibility
- Update VSSimulatorVisualization paint() to check for headless mode
- Remove obsolete test scripts and documentation
- Update test-protocols.sh to remove GUI error suppression options
- Consolidate testing documentation in docs/testing-guide.md

All protocol tests now run cleanly in headless mode without GUI errors,
enabling proper CI/CD integration and automated testing.
