Description
When end user install as documented as:
pip install git+https://github.com/NVIDIA/TransformerEngine.git@stable
They can't run an TE test to make sure the software stack work well.
We should do as NumPy and add transformerengine.test() (equivalent of numpy.test()).
This way they won't need to clone the repo and checkout the right branch, to test the installation.

Research direction
Start by checking how the installed Python package exposes public helpers and how the repository currently runs its tests. Add the documented transformerengine.test() entry point so a user who installs from the stable branch can run the test suite without cloning the repository, and verify that it reports the test result.
