Factory Methods for Testing

[white-alistair]

For testing, it would be useful to have lightweight and minimal factory methods in the test directory which return a model initialised with realistic values (possibly from a previous run of the model), so you can just do, for example,

prog, diag, model = model_factory()

or

diag = diag_factory()

Much of this already exists, e.g. the initialize_from_rest method in prognostic_variables.jl, but it would be good to extend and formalise it.

We already export initialize_speedy() that does that (takes the same arguments as run_speedy)

Closing this as I believe initialize_speedy addresses that, feel free to reopen if that remains an issue.
