Issue DM-5147: Provide usable repos in {{validation_data_*}} packages.
Re-interpreted ticket: 1. Provide already-initialized repositories in the `validation_data_cfht`, `validation_data_decam`, and `validation_data_hsc` packages alongside the raw data. The goal is to allow both easy quick-start analyses as well as comparisons of output steps from processCcd.py and friends at each step of the processing. (/) 2. Add (Cfht,Decam,HSC).list files to provide for easy processing of the available dataIds in the example data. (/) 3. Update README files to explain available data. (/) [Original request:] In validation_drp when I run examples/runXTest.sh I find that any data I had saved in CFHT or DECam is lost, even if I have carefully renamed it. This is very dangerous and I lost a lot of work due to it. At a bare minimum please do NOT touch any directories not named "input" or "output". Lower priority requests that I hope you will consider: - Have the the input repo be entirely contained in the validation_data_X packages, ready to use "as is". That would simplify the use of those packages by other code. It would also simplify validate_drp, and it would just leave the output repo to generate (which already has a link back to the input repo). - Have runXTest.sh accept a single argument: the path to the output. (The path to the input is not necessary if you implement the first suggestion).
