bug: TestMakeALookupTable does not accept precompiled model names

I had a quick play with this @martinjrobins and it seems to work for a precompiled CellML that is not in the original 1-9 indices, but not for a runtime compiled one. Would it be easy enough to tweak for that too?

Sure, I didn't think of the runtime ones, I'll give that a go

I guess there could be an argument for banning that, as it probably is a good idea to have some kind of stability in the model/executable such that someone hasn't changed the cellml file on a regular basis and gets stale lookup tables... but on the other hand it would make it more consistent with the SetupModel to be able to do it

I had a look at this and think it will be tricky. You are creating one SetupModel in each thread, and each SetupModel is responsible for compiling the cellml file to get the model, so multiple threads will be trying to copy into the same directory and compile the cellml file. I think you'd have to restructure the code quite a bit to to this, not sure if its worth it if there is an argument for banning it....
