Fix/stable latest

[AmintorDusko]

Context: This PR introduces a temporary fix, for a deprecation problem in Lightning tests.
We also fixed some typos, broke down tests in Pennylane and Pennylane-Lightning distinct steps where sensible, and reduced the number of shots in PennyLane from 20K to 10K (fingers crossed).

LGTM!

@AmintorDusko Another thing out of the current scope but perhaps related to the primary goal of this PR is: the on-going deprecation on ControlledQubitUnitary input arg control_wires and QubitUnitary type base may also introduce new breakdowns to stable-Lightning/latest-PennyLane test matrix...

I will keep an eye on this. Thanks you so much!

I'm re-running the tests as I found a problem there.
The link is already up-to-date.
Feel free to merge this PR if the tests are successful, and the PR double approved.

Thanks @AmintorDusko! Just wondering should we update to cover the deprecation for this PR too? The corresponding Pennylane PR has been merged, so this will fail the stable/latest again...

Sorry @JerryChen97, I re-tagged you by mistake.
