There was a change in Cobra 1.9.0 which caused our unit tests to fail and showed that calling "rootCmd.SetArgs(spec.args)" is the proper approach when setting arguments to a cobra command in tests. Also, because of the way we handle the help command for plugins in "getHelpArguments()", we must also continue to set "os.Args"; however, the way the tests were written before would not cause a failure if the call to "os.Args" was removed. This commit updates the tests for both cases. Signed-off-by: Marc Khouzam <[email protected]>

What this PR does / why we need it
There was a change in Cobra 1.9.0 which caused our unit tests to fail and showed that calling
rootCmd.SetArgs(spec.args)is the proper approach when setting arguments to a cobra command in tests, even ifos.Argsis also used.Also, because of the way we handle the help command for plugins in
getHelpArguments(), we must also continue to setos.Args; however, the way the tests were written before this PR would not cause a failure if the call toos.Argswas removed.This commit updates the tests to better handle both cases.
Note that because of impacts to other programs, the particular change in Cobra was reverted in release v1.9.1.
