[DFDL-WG] DFDL conformance tests

[Steve Hanson]

The proposed conformance tests should be grouped into buckets, each of 
which test a specific section of the DFDL spec. 

Here is a proposed structure. Optional features need to have their tests 
in separate buckets, so that partly drives the grouping. 

Please review for completeness.
