[$40] Ability to switch off actual payments on PROD

[maxceem]

When we create payment records using API POST /work-period-payments the actual payment would be created https://github.com/topcoder-platform/taas-apis/blob/dev/src/services/WorkPeriodPaymentService.js#L99-L105.

During testing on PROD we would like to be able to disable the actual payment processing.

Task

• Introduce a new config/env variblae PAYMENT_PROCESSING_SWITCH, with the default value OFF
• If PAYMENT_PROCESSING_SWITCH===OFF, then don't call createPayment method here https://github.com/topcoder-platform/taas-apis/blob/dev/src/services/WorkPeriodPaymentService.js#L99-L105. And just set a dummy challenge id value 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000.

Unit test

Create unit tests to check this:

• should not create actual payment when "PAYMENT_PROCESSING_SWITCH" if "OFF"
• should create actual payment when "PAYMENT_PROCESSING_SWITCH" is "ON"

The payment was increased as there were some common unit test fixes made.
