test: Write test for OpenfeatureAPI to return No-op client when OpenfeatureClient is unresolvable (open-feature#157)

### Overview

This pull request refactors the client creation logic in
`OpenFeatureAPI` to improve testability and resilience.

- Introduces a dedicated `resolveClient` method, which encapsulates
client instantiation logic.

- Ensures that failures during client resolution are handled gracefully
by returning a `NoOpClient`.

- Adds a testing dependency to allow mocking of final classes, enabling
comprehensive test coverage without altering production code.
