Add additional strategy and helpers.py

[kaitj]

Proposed changes

Tried to reduce the rewriting of common settings and generation of valid characters. To that end:

• Added an additional strategy to generate valid characters (re: alphabets) that can be used to generate desc, ext, etc. entities. There should also be a way to do this from hypothesis strategies itself, but did not find it intuitive.
• Created helper functions for common settings that are called for various tests, namely allowing scoped functions and changing test deadlines.

A couple of minor comments, one of which doesn't need to be addressed here necessarily.

This also needs a merge from main

Looks good! Side note: We should add pyright to this project given that a lot of the typing is there already

[kaitj]

Yes, I agree. I'll throw that into a separate PR.
