End-to-end Testing for GMC and NPMC

There are end-to-end testing examples for GMC and NPMC but not for LGMC as its trajectories are not deterministic. These tests can be run as follows from the main RNMC directory:

$ tests/test.sh

Unit Testing

The tests folder also contains unit tests using GoogleTest. Unit tests are available for the following classes: reaction_network, nano_particle, lattice_reaction_network, and lattice. The unit tests can be used to help determine if changes to the open-source code introduce bugs but are not completely comprehensive.

Makefile

Create executables for all tests at once
```
  $ make all
```
Create a single executable for class foo
```
  $ make foo_test
```
Clean
```
  $ make clean
```

Output

Each unit test will either fail or pass. GoogleTest can use colors in its terminal output to make it easier to spot the important information:

... tests that pass ...

[----------] 1 test from FooTest
[ RUN      ] FooTest.DoesAbc
[       OK ] FooTest.DoesAbc
[----------] 2 tests from BarTest
[ RUN      ] BarTest.HasXyzProperty
[       OK ] BarTest.HasXyzProperty
[ RUN      ] BarTest.ReturnsTrueOnSuccess

... tests that fail ...
