Consider pooch library for test data #382

Description

@gerritholl

Currently, to run the typhon tests completely, users need to checkout the typhon-testfiles repository to a specified path. If these test data are really needed for running the tests (and can't be mocked or created on the fly), the pooch library may provide a more git- and user-friendly alternative. Compared to the status quo this has the advantage that:

  • Users only need a single package (typhon) to run the tests, and
  • No data files would need to be stored within a git repository (for which git is not well suited).
