Description

Most registry entries have some form of `test_query`, that is used for validation.

It would be nice to have this exposed to `pyvo` users for an on-demand resource validation.

In addition to finding out if this passes or fails, it would be great to also indicate how long the test took, so multiple resources could be compared to find the most suitable resource for your network or geo-location.

Research direction

The issue names resource registry entries and their test_query values, but no files or tests. Start by locating how pyvo represents resources and currently handles test_query validation; define the user-facing validation entry point and timing result, with done meaning users can run a resource's test_query and see pass/fail plus elapsed time.
