Disable V8-dependent API tests for V2 since future arangods will ship…

… without V8

---

Note

Gate V8-dependent tests behind a runtime V8 check (with helper), refactor tasks tests to use per-db contexts, add V1 skips for V8 cases, and update the CI ArangoDB image tag.

• Tests (v2):
  • V8 gating: Introduce requireV8Enabled in v2/tests/util_test.go and apply to V8-dependent tests (asyncjob_test.go pending/cleanup cases, database_transactionsjs_test.go, database_query_test.go UDFs, foxx_test.go, tasks_test.go).
  • Tasks tests refactor: Run against created databases via WithDatabase, pass db.Name() to task APIs, and restructure per-test contexts.
• Tests (v1):
  • Add V8-related skips by calling skipBelowVersion(..., "4.0") in test/asyncjob_test.go and test/database_transaction_test.go.
• CI:
  • Update arangodbImage default in .circleci/config.yml to public.ecr.aws/...:2025-12-01-devel-d759089-amd64.

Bug: V1 tests use inverted version skip logic for V8

The V1 tests use skipBelowVersion(c, "4.0", t) to disable V8-dependent tests, but this logic is inverted. skipBelowVersion skips tests when version is less than 4.0 and runs them when version is >= 4.0. Since V8 is being removed in version 4.0+, the tests will be skipped on older versions where V8 is present and run on newer versions where V8 is absent — the exact opposite of the intended behavior. The codebase has skipFromVersion which skips tests for versions >= the specified version, which appears to be the correct function for this use case. The V2 tests correctly use requireV8Enabled for dynamic checking.
