Hooked up the test data! -- DONE!!!

[Steven Robbins]

Hello,

I'm happy to report that the last few kinks with digikam-test-data have been 
ironed out.   I have small video test files in a forked repo [1] which are 
being consumed by tests in a forked repo of digikam itself [2].

Before I start with merge requests, please have a quick look at [1] and let me 
know if you're OK with the file layout and naming.  There's only four test files 
at the moment so there's not a well-developed naming convention -- mostly it 
consists of using a sub-directory named "video"; I expect that later there 
will be one named "images".

It turned out to be two distinct issues.

1. Windows had git-lfs installed but suse and freebsd did not.  This resulted 
in the latter two not actually having the file content available.  Ben has 
installed git-lfs for suse and put out a request to someone else for freebsd.

2. The Suse CI executer has a very very limited selection of codecs; so it was 
failing for this reason.  I finally worked out which codecs were available and 
transcoded the test file to mpeg2 to get the test to run.
