RuntimeError: BornAgain C++ Exception: File does not exist: specular/genx_alternating_layers.dat.gz

File sits in /testdata/specular/genx_alternating_layers.dat.gz, but is not found.

Similar failures:

• bayesian/likelihood_sampling.py
• fit/specular/Specular1Par.py
• fit/specular/TREFF_Ni_film.py
• and several more in fit/specular
• and several more in fit/scatter

Solution can be found in ../auto/Examples/fit/scatter2d/expfit_galaxi.py, which fails with meaningful message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/G/sw/ba/build/../auto/Examples/fit/scatter2d/expfit_galaxi.py", line 22, in <module>
    raise Exception("Environment variable BA_DATA_DIR not set")
Exception: Environment variable BA_DATA_DIR not set

added Example Python bug deployment labels

changed title from example bayesian/likelihood_sampling: file not found to some example fail because file is not found
