Make an UpdateGoldenValues.jl script #228
Description
After creating a GoldenValues .h5 file that goes in test data, we need to make a script that will selectively update this .h5 with new data. This should require user input of the desired quantity to update and take the current commit hash, printing a warning if there are any unstaged changes.

@d-burg @matt-pharr can this be closed now that we have the regression harness set up?

@logan-nc no, the regression harness is made mostly for local use. This is part of a bigger effort we discussed on refactoring the unit test infrastructure. There is a fair amount of benchmarking that needs to happen first and we want to get a few things merged before we do that.

Not opening a PR: there is no golden
.h5undertest/test_dataon develop (theregression_*directories hold onlygpec.tomldecks), so a script to update one has nothing to act on, and the unit tests pin values inline. The role described here is whatregression-harness/plays today, and #593 is reshaping the unit-test side. Suggest deciding there whether a golden file is still wanted; if not, close in favour of the harness.
