In this PR I implement three test fixtures for MPI-related tests:
MpiBaseTestFixture: which defines the usual variables but does not initialise a world.MpiTestFixture: inherits from 1, and initialises a world.RemoteMpiTestFixture: useful for testing remote messaging locally, it sets the resources in each host as desired, but for this reason can't initialise the worlds transparently.I have also added a separate file to hold the remote messaging tests. I am aware this is a great example of something that can be tested using
dist-testsbut I think there's still value in mocking for single-host tests (?).Next step will be to add more remote messaging tests, as with #108 they will use a different mechanism than local messages.
