feat(testing): improve create_req and create_asgi_req

[iuliachiriac]

Summary of Changes

This PR changes create_req and create_asgi_req to make their behaviour consistent with simulate_request by:

• adding missing parameters: content_type, json, params, params_csv
• adding call to _prepare_sim_args function (which was also moved to helpers.py), which does a series of checks on request attributes and sets Content-Type
• enabling passing arbitrary WSGI/ASGI envs through extra argument
