minor changes:

* Changed the tests to use an in-module fixture instead of the
  `test_ontology.owl` graph and removed the `test_ontology.owl` file. The
  problem with arbitrary test data is that it is hard to evolve. If possible
  test data should be kept as terse as possible. In this case I just created a
  namespace manager with three namespaces added, of which only two will be
  effective because of <#2077>.
* Added a warning to `NamespaceManager.curie` to warn users that it is not a
  pure function and explain the specific side effects.
