Create a functional testing module with tests for all methods

[DavAug]

The module will contain the functional tests in pints, e.g. one file for each sampler and each optimiser. We start with the HarrioBardenerACMC.

[DavAug]

A class should contain a method that returns the results in dict format. Until the new diagnostics module is implemented, we could start with

• Gaussian shape kld
• mean ESS

Perfect! I'm thinking method_hyper_parameters could eventually be a dict rather than an array, but that's a separate issue
