implement pytest testing

At this stage preparing full test coverage is not only necessary for deployment but is also going to help consolidate all the remaining todos and fixes left before initial alpha release.

Figuring out how to handle dummy DB interactions with startup/teardown methods. Need to organize further into testsuites so I can loop over each entity-type while still having individual test-cases per-entity.

Noticing some really bad traceback barf when MaglaTest encounters bad seed data. Make sure to include good error handling for PR.

The test module will be merged in 3 stages:

Phase 1 (unit)

• test direct CRUD operations with SQLAlchemy session object.
• isolate and test individual sub-entities as far as possible without requiring other magla entities or modules(magla.utils is ok).
• make sure to always compare backend data with seed data used initially.

Methods available from within a sub-classed MaglaEntityTestFixture test:

# reset the seed object to match seed data
self.reset(seed_object)

# retrieve all seed data-tuples for given entity-type
self.get_seed_data("<entity name>")

# retrieve the seed data for a given entity and seed-index
self.get_seed_data("<entity name>", 1)

Phase 2 (critical integration)

• Complete the remaining test-coverage from phase 1 still using the same seed data from file.
• perform filesystem manipulation during this phase.

Phase 3 (expensive integration)

• Test all magla CRUD operations and remaining edge case tests.
