Build a test suite of (industrial) use-cases

Set up a test suite with reference results to:

• check that the library is well supported (i.e. compiles and simulates) by Dymola and OpenModelica.
• perform some regression tests between two ThermoSysPro versions (could be useful when developing a new version)

Provide scripts to automate test running and deploy CI in Git.

@giorgio.simonini : I worked on the cooling system example and it could now be provided as an open source "full example". Should it be included in the Examples package of ThermoSysPro? or in this separate test suite? Benefits: provide example of use of I&C (advanced) components.

If open-source, I think it could be directly included in ThermoSysPro, as other examples already available.

The industrial test cases library we were thinking of is supposed to be private, even if we could also imagine an open one if needed.

We could also have a public one to do not surcharge the library with too many cases, while still providing them to the public. And a private one for test only and internal usage.

In the test suite we could also add a link to other repository/tests if needed.

Could be useful indeed to have separate two separate test suites (a public and a private one).

Scripts provided to automate testing could interest also BuilSysPro developers (Jérôme Ferrari, TREE).
