[!!!][TASK] Remove functional test database configuration fallback

Functional tests per nature speaks with a concrete atabase service,
which can be configured using a et of `environment variables`.
However, historically a fallback to `typo3conf/LocalConfiguration.php`
or the root project has been used if no environment variable has been
provided.

This broke already in early TYPO3 v12 development cycle with the
move towards configuration files outside of the public root folder
in a composer based installation.

Because of today usage of the testing-framework and the broader
acceptance of ci/cd pipelines the environment variable is the
recommended. Remove the broken fallback now.
