OK, great, we now have several examples of tests in matplotlib.tests,
and they seem to be passing on the buildbot slaves now.

I added the images to lib/matplotlib/tests/baseline_images.

I also removed ".png" from the filenames in anticipation of auto-backend
selection and comparison of other formats. (However, that's not
something I plan to implement any time soon.)

We now have 26 tests running on the buildbots and 11 with the plain
"import matplotlib; matplotlib.test()", which tests only the new
simplified tests. That means there are 15 tests left in the original
testing infrastructure that remain to be ported over, which I don't
think will be too hard now that I ported over JPL's units stuff into
matplotlib.testing.jpl_units and test_matplotlib/TestAxes.py to
matplotlib.tests.test_axes.py.
