refactor: cut test execution time (#305)

This PR decreases test execution time for the test_client test suite by about 2 whole minutes (132 seconds, I think).

It does that by extracting the `aggregate_metrics` function and, instead of waiting for the client to actually send metrics, just checking what the metrics would be aggregated to.

In doing so, it might be worth adding another test to ensure that metrics **are** actually sent, but we may or may not already have this elsewhere.
