Fix numba JIT configuration failing on airflow runner (#1117)

fix: prevent numba JIT errors during test collection on runner envs                                                                 
                                                                   
Two issues caused collection-time failures when running tests in runner environments (e.g. the ome_sdc conda env where Airflow is
used):                                                                                                                              

1. os.environ.setdefault("NUMBA_DISABLE_JIT", "1") is a no-op if the environment already exports NUMBA_DISABLE_JIT=0. Switched to a 
force-set assignment, and added a sys.modules patch for the case where a pytest plugin (fast-array-utils, npe2,
napari-plugin-engine) has already imported numba before conftest.py runs — numba reads its config once at import time, so the env   
var alone is too late.     
2. Module-level blobs() calls in four test files executed during pytest collection, before conftest.py had taken effect. Replaced
each with a @pytest.fixture(scope="module"), which fires during test execution. No performance change — blobs() is still called once
 per file.
                                                                                                                                    
refactor: consolidate numba JIT disable into root conftest only                                                                     

The sub-conftest files in core/operations/ and dataloader/ duplicated the same NUMBA_DISABLE_JIT logic already present in the root  
tests/conftest.py. Removed the duplicates.
