To speed up the validation of auto-generated convolution kernels , run spot-checks on the output rather than validating the entire output. This makes it tractable to validate large convolutions in unit tests. For example

* test the corners of the output array

* test a few points along edges, faces of the array

* test a few points from the interior of the array

conclude that if all those points are right, the whole array is probably right, and move on to the next test.
