Investigate cost for Security Rules test suite. #21

Firebase security rules can be tested manually via the Forge simulator. According to this thread, the same interface the simulator uses can be used programmatically.

I'd like to have a set of tests that ensure the security rules are working as I expect them too. However, I'm not sure what the cost will be. The main question I have is about data. How can I test the rules against a test dataset without having to remove production data? Let test data live along side prod data? :/

Perhaps the tests could all run against a test user, one that could not collide with the existing users: test:123. (test will never be a valid login provider) Once tests were finished, the test user's data could be cleaned up.
