Don Cross 91aafeaba7 Starting to add Python demo programs.
Created skeleton test harness for validating the demo programs.
Created stub moonphase.py.
Copied correct demo program outputs from nodejs; will tweak as needed.
Call the Python demo test harness from the 'run' script.

moonphase.js - by Don Cross - 2019-05-13
Example Node.js program for Astronomy Engine:
https://github.com/cosinekitty/astronomy
This program calculates the Moon's phase for a given date and time,
or for the computer's current date and time if none is given.
It also finds the dates and times of the subsequent 10 quarter phase changes.
To execute, run the command:
node moonphase [date]

const Astronomy = require('../../source/js/astronomy.js'); // adjust path as needed for your system
function Pad(s, w) {
s = s.toFixed(0);
while (s.length < w) {
s = '0' + s;
}
return s;
}
function FormatDate(date) {
var year = Pad(date.getUTCFullYear(), 4);
var month = Pad(1 + date.getUTCMonth(), 2);
var day = Pad(date.getUTCDate(), 2);
var hour = Pad(date.getUTCHours(), 2);
var minute = Pad(date.getUTCMinutes(), 2);
var svalue = date.getUTCSeconds() + (date.getUTCMilliseconds() / 1000);
var second = Pad(Math.round(svalue), 2);
return `${year}-${month}-${day} ${hour}:${minute}:${second} UTC`;
