For simplicity and determinism the solver tests are given fixed hdf5 input.

The current arrangement of using random dummy data introduces subtleties in the order of execution that add complexity and test artifacts.
In particular, it makes it awkward to test accumulation and multi-GPU solving.

Rely on fixed hdf5 data for determinism of solver tests.

- draw random Gaussian data and targets for test and save to hdf5
- use the same data for all tests without constant / gaussian condition
  previously needed for accumulation
- avoid test artifacts due to order of random draws in dummy data

Cool, LGTM. Feel free to merge as makes sense with #2870.

Merging as I think this is an improvement in itself and reduces the RNG confusion. The multi-GPU tests will be handled by #2870.
