Example or two of data files for future compatibility testing

                 Key: AVRO-376
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-376
             Project: Avro
          Issue Type: Test
            Reporter: Philip Zeyliger
            Priority: Minor


As AVRO-160 (file format) and AVRO-135 (compression) have settled down, I'd 
like to check in examples of data files with specific data in them, and write 
tests against those checked-in files.  The current tests for data files rely on 
code to generate the files, and then read them back, which is perfect for 
testing that an AVRO version is self-consistent, but doesn't help if we 
accidentally break compatibility.  (This test would fail, for example, if 
someone changed the metadata key for the schema, say.)
