Currently, if we run$N$ regression tests then we make $N + 1$ API requests; $1$ request to the get a list of files, the other $N$ downloading the reference files.
With this PR, the MFiles get cached locally by their scenario name and hash. This means a GitHub API request to download the file only occurs once ever, rather than once every time the test suite is run.
