Adds bare-bones setup for testing in python #226

Related to #38

This PR adds the pytest-flask library to requirements.txt, instructions for running tests from the command line to setup.md, and provides 4 sample tests for users to practice using pytest in the tests/pytest directory.

Still to come:

I'm working on getting the conftest.py file working, I think it might be needed for tests on the DB and other application elements (tests written for helper functions should work fine for now)

It looks like pytest needs test files to be named test_*.py or *_test.py in order to recognize them. @razzlepdx , can you add that requirement to the last sentence of the Python Testing section of SETUP.md?

Good catch, @rylandbell - I will fix it now.
