chore(tests): re-enable pipeline system tests on kokoro

[daniel-sanche]

Kokoro tests for pipelines were previously disabled until the backend supports the feature. This branch will re-enable those tests, when the backend is ready

Aslo removing index_mode, since this feature was pushed back to a future release

Summary of Changes

Hello @daniel-sanche, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request primarily focuses on re-enabling and enhancing the pipeline system tests on Kokoro, alongside integrating full support for Python 3.14. A significant portion of the changes introduces new Firestore Pipeline API features, allowing for more complex and efficient data querying and transformation directly within the client libraries. These updates ensure compatibility with the latest Python versions and expand the functional capabilities of the Firestore client.

Highlights

• Re-enabling Pipeline System Tests: Kokoro pipeline system tests, previously disabled, have been re-enabled to run when the backend is ready to support the feature.
• Python 3.14 Support: Added comprehensive support for Python 3.14 across various configurations, including new Kokoro configurations (common, continuous, periodic-head, periodic, presubmit) and updates to noxfile.py and setup.py.
• New Firestore Pipeline API Features: Introduced new Firestore Pipeline API capabilities, including CloneDatabase and ExecutePipeline methods, along with a rich set of pipeline expressions and stages for advanced data transformations and queries.
• mTLS Support Enhancements: Improved mTLS support logic within Firestore Admin and main Firestore clients, including a new _use_client_cert_effective static method and refined handling of client certificate environment variables.
• Changelog and Documentation Updates: Updated CHANGELOG.md to reflect version 2.22.0 with new features like mTLS support, Python 3.14, and read_time parameter. Documentation files (CONTRIBUTING.rst, README.rst, docs/README.rst) were also updated to reflect Python 3.14 support and provide more detailed client information.
• Pipeline E2E System Tests: Added extensive new system tests (pipeline_e2e/*.yaml) to cover various end-to-end scenarios for the new Firestore Pipeline features, including aggregations, array operations, date/time functions, logical operations, map manipulations, mathematical functions, string operations, and vector search.

Code Review

This pull request re-enables pipeline system tests on Kokoro by removing the IS_KOKORO_TEST flag and its usage across the test suite. The changes are straightforward and correctly remove the conditional logic that was previously skipping these tests. My review includes a couple of suggestions to clean up unused imports in the database fixtures for both test_system.py and test_system_async.py, which became redundant after the test-skipping logic was removed. This will help improve code maintainability.
