Testing script and CI updates

[rem1776]

Updates testing scripts with a new file for default setup and teardown functions and functions for generating input files.
Also adds a way to skip tests via an environment variable SKIP_TESTS and adds parallel tests to run when built with MPI.

Fixes #74

Looks pretty good. The merge will have conflicts since I took so long to review and master has since changed. I'll prepare a branch for the conflicts and let you know.

@rem1776 @ceblanton I merged the branches and fixed the code my branch https://github.com/ngs333/FRE-NCtools/tree/testing .
One possibility is to merge my branch into ryans, and then merge ryans into master ?

@ngs333 I merged in your 'testing' branch to this PR so it should be up to date now

Hi Chris, You reviewed and approved the PR a long time ago, but I guess since the update you may want to approve it again.
Thanks.

@rem1776 thanks so much for these test improvements! I'm a little confused on when and how the parallel tests should run.

The parallel parts in Tests 3 and 4 should run if MPI is compiled but not through CI. Is that intentional?

Test15 looks like it runs properly in the github CI environment, but not gaea. I think it could work on PP/AN though

Can you run the parallel tests successfully on gaea or PP/AN?

@ceblanton @ngs333 This should be good to go now. The parallel tests will run if configured using --with-mpi by default but will be skipped if SKIP_MPI_TEST is set. I had to replace openmpi with mpich on the container side but the mpirun's work now, test 4 seems to be too big to run in the CI so it's skipped but will run elsewhere just takes a while.

In test 30, how is the status of executable md5sum checked?
