set test_errors app fixture to session scope

we have one global metrics variable `metrics = GDSMetrics()`, and we
then call `metrics.init_app` from within the flask application set up.
The v2/test_errors.py app_for_test fixture calls create_app, would call
metrics.init_app multiple times for the same metrics instance. This
causes errors, so change the fixture to session level so it only calls
once per test run.
