Summary
This PR introduces a validation test, which aims at testing the physical results of the code as a whole, rather than independent bits of the code (usually handled by unit tests).
This tests runs a binary mixture of LJ particles, at different conditions, and compares results to published data.
It validates that the overall MC algorithm, the displacement move, and the LJ model are properly implemented.
