SIENTIAPDE-1646

Update README, requirements, and E2E tests for improved configuration and functionality

- Enhanced the README with updated model configuration examples, including the addition of an alias for production.
- Removed the `requirements-light.txt` file and updated `requirements-local.txt` and `requirements.txt` to replace `asyncua` with `opcua`.
- Refactored E2E test scenarios to utilize scenario input files for better maintainability and clarity.
- Improved test coverage for MinIO offload functionality and added new helper functions for loading scenario inputs.
- Updated `values.yaml` to reflect new global configurations and environment variables for the laborious worker.
