create test set for norma distribution

[petermr]

To test the norma distribution we need tp provide a small test set (say 5 ctrees ) that can be run to verify the integrity (and regression) of the binaries. There should be instructions in the README of the form:
To test the integrity of norma distribution:

• cd mydirectory
• checkout normatest
• cmine normatest

Sure, this sounds like a really sensible idea. I guess the idea would actually be to test the integrity of the whole pipeline though (ami and norma). This is really for the end user's benefit rather than regression testing since almost all of the tests we have are of this type already.

In fact, if this is only for the benefit of new users, should we just have a copy and paste line in the docs to download a very small set of papers from EPMC and then use cmine to transform them?

Peter posted to slack that: "Let's iterate on this. I thnk a small set of papers, especially Open Access from closed publishers will be really valuable"

It's mainly installation verfication for new users but also as a regression on strange platforms. We expect user feedback rather than automated test fails.

And the tests are also useful for tutorials
