test(suite_communities): Created `bdd_hook` for each `suite_communities` test case

- Created `bdd_hooks` that contain the sing up steps just only once in the feature start and the needed start steps depending on the test case.

- Updated feature files removing sign up steps and given/when/then reorganization.

- Done some cleanups and reorganization in `communitySteps.py` and `searchSteps.py`.

Closes #7955
