Adding toy samplesheet (synthetic data)

[quentinblampey]

This is a dummy samplesheet. Under the hood, Sopa will create a synthetic toy dataset to run the tests.

please add a more detailed description about that in the readme

Thanks @mashehu, I updated it!

Sorry to be a pain, but why not just put the toy dataset directly in this branch instead of going through a generation step?

[quentinblampey]

For multiple reasons:

1. The generation is very quick, so it's easier to run it rather than reading from a static file
2. The input of Sopa is raw data that we process into a SpatialData object (via a process called TO_SPATIALDATA). There is no "raw data" for the toy dataset since it's synthetic (but we still call TO_SPATIALDATA with a specific technology argument). Instead, if I directly save the toy dataset as a SpatialData object, this would skip the TO_SPATIALDATA process, and I think it's better to keep all processes in the tests.

In brief, doing this would be both more complex and would remove some parts of the process being tested.

okay, makes sense. 🙂
