fix(tests): fix integration test failures for export resources

- Add validation for empty Resources list in ExportJobOptions
- Add SkipResourceAssertions to tests that create resources before repo
- Fix managed resources test to use folder target instead of instance
- Tests create dashboards/folders before repository, so sync counts include them
