Fake Release to Fix Internal Testing

This is not a real release.
Our internal tests for nimi-python were failing the system tests due to a driver change.
This required an update to the system tests and a new release tag so that we would copy the latest version of the tests for our internal testing.

Note: there were previous nirfsg package uploads to pypi. This is a completely new API, that is not compatible with that one.
