IMPL: A1 <-> XApp Message Flow Testing

This change adds support for testing RMR message flow between the A1 mediator
and XApps.  It consists of two major components:

o An XApp which receives policy updates from A1
o A Robot Framework testsuite to send policy requests to A1

This change also cleans up the ric_robot_suite subdirectory somewhat as part
of an ongoing process of improving robot usability.

This repository contains tools for end-to-end testing of the RIC. Among the included tools:

o In simulators/, an implementation of the gNodeB E2 interface to allow testing without a live gNodeB and a workload generator to exercise the interfaces between XApps o In ric_robot_suite/, implementations of the Robot Framework (robotframework.org) to enable end-to-end test automation for development and integration testing.

These components generally assume a deployed and running RIC.

See the component subdirectories for documentation on the components themselves.
