test suite data structures

According to
<http://w3c.github.io/data-shapes/data-shapes-test-suite/>, the test
suite includes positive and negative flavors of two kinds of tests:

  postivive node and shape:
    mf:action [
      sht:schema <example-schema.shc> ; 
      sht:schema-format sht:SHACLC   ; 
  	 sht:data <example-data.ttl> ; 
  	 sht:data-format sht:TURTLE ;
  	 sht:node :x ;
  	 sht:shape :Shape1
    ] ;
    mf:result true ; # or false

  postitive data and schema:
    mf:action [
      sht:schema <example-schema.shc> ; 
      sht:schema-format sht:SHACLC   ; 
  	 sht:data <example-data.ttl> ; 
  	 sht:data-format sht:TURTLE ;
    ] ;
    mf:result true ; # or false

as well as schema well-formedness tests:
   mf:action [
     sht:schema <example-schema.shc> ; 
     sht:schema-format sht:SHACLC   ; 
   ] ;
   mf:result true ; # or false

ShEx tests factor the data and schema tests into two components, a
step which takes a schema and a *separate* "control graph" with
sh:target* properties. These produce node/shape pairs like you would
see with node and shape tests. Thus we have only one form:
  <#1literalTotaldigits_pass-decimal-short> a
      sht:ValidationTest ; # or ValidationFailure
    mf:name "1literalTotaldigits_pass-decimal-short" ;
    sht:trait sht:TotalDigitsFacet ;
    rdfs:comment """<S1> in <S1> { <p1> LITERAL TOTALDIGITS 5 }
                    on <s1> in { <s1> <p1> 1.234 }""" ;
    mf:status mf:proposed ;
    mf:action [
      sht:schema <../schemas/1literalTotaldigits5.shex> ;
      sht:shape <http://a.example/S1> ;
      sht:data <Is1_Ip1_DEC1_234.ttl> ;
      sht:focus <http://a.example/s1>
    ] ;
    mf:result <1literalTotaldigits_pass-decimal-short.val>
    .

PROPOSE: to remove the "sht:data-format sht:TURTLE" triple.
PROPOSE: to rename sht:node to sht:focus (or initial focus)
  because both the schema graph and the data graph have nodes.
PROPOSE: separate the target* parsing from validation with a strucure like:

  <S123> a sht:SelectionTest
    mf:action <example-data.ttl> ;
    mf:result
      [ sht:focus <F1> ; sht:shape <S1> ],
      [ sht:focus <F2> ; sht:shape <S2> ],
      [ sht:focus <F3> ; sht:shape <S2> ].

  and then use node tests.

ISSUE: should we use that pairs notation for the input to tests?
  Theoretically not necessary, but kind of nice for bulk tests.
