Minimize test data #94

Summary

As a developer, I don't want to have to manually find and download gigabytes of images in order to test houndigrade locally. Test data should be minimally small and easily accessible in an automated fashion.

Acceptance Criteria

[x] Verify test data is quickly retrieved via regular commands in a local command line shell
- Hint hint: probably a git submodule

Assumptions and Questions

As of https://gitlab.com/cloudigrade/houndigrade/merge_requests/64, we have discussed storing several large images in Google Drive. We should consider minimizing the contents of these images and put them in a submodule that, only if necessary, has git lfs enabled. I created https://gitlab.com/cloudigrade/houndigrade-test-data for this intended purpose.
We can shrink the test files to a reasonable size (like the existing test file that was ~70KB), and we should consider simply keeping them in the repository (or a submodule repo).

Demo of how I created the new disk images: https://asciinema.org/a/230695

Instructions for creating images this way are also in the updated readme.
