An initial test setup

[theAnuragMishra]

This pr adds a pseudo-random events generator perl script for the purposes of dev and testing.

Usage:
from the repo root, run ./scripts/generate-seed-data.sh.
For options see ./scripts/generate-seed-data.sh --help.

I think we could use Cpanel::JSON::XS while keeping JSON::PP as fallback in case someone wants to generate high amount of seed data to test

Is complicating really worth it... I didn't feel it was slow generating 100k events.

I don't think it's that complicated, and as I said it'll be better in general for the users if they want to generate larger dataset (1-10M) not 100K

I agree, there's no need to optimise for performance here.

Since this will only be used in the test suite (right?) can we please keep it all contained in the test/ directory, for clarity?

Missing a .?

fixed!

nosuchtopic is there to test for topics that for sure won't have matches, maybe we can continue to push something similar on too?
