Description

What

Add a README explaining the purpose and usage of the manager test harness.

Why

This follows https://github.com/OpenAssetIO/OpenAssetIO/pull/740#issuecomment-1315638789 (and related earlier comments).

It is not immediately clear when browsing the repository that openassetio.test.manager is not related to our unit tests.

It's also an independent executable that is somewhat distinct from the rest of the openassetio package and could do with it's own documentation.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the openassetio.test.manager harness and its independent executable entry point to understand its purpose and usage. Add a README that explains how it differs from the repository's unit tests and how to use it; the work is done when browsing the package makes that distinction clear.
