[Feature]: Build a more robust set of test tools

[mavaylon1]

What would you like to see added to HDMF?

An issue I run into when building new tools is that even though the development is in HDMF, the use is in PyNWB. When the use cases are in PyNWB with PyNWB structures, testing in HDMF can get annoying, unclear at first, or not a 1-1 representation of how it would be uses in PyNWB. I want to have a test schema, with a test HDMF File that somewhat mimics the NWBFile, and other test objects that would allow for easier/1-1 testing.

I personally don't feel the Foo/Baz/Bar setup we have does the job to the best that it can be.

What solution would you like?

Above.

Do you have any interest in helping implement the feature?

Yes.

Move the mixin classes in the test files to a more general location
