add example py files to test suite

[aowen87]

We have a bunch of py examples in src/visitpy/examples. But, they are not routinely tested and so easily fall out of date. I discovered silselect.py was not working due to a change in paths in silo files in the data dir. Why don't we just make these examples tests? That way, we'll know if we do something to break 'em and we can ensure they are up to date (and therefore valid) examples for people to use.

Comments: The tests should just check that the scripts run successfully since adding image or text tests would involve adding test harness code, which we don't want to do.
