Invalid MEI as test files

The following files:
- example_noMeasures_noBeams.mei
- example_noMeasures_withBeams.mei
- example_withMeasures_noBeams.mei
- example_withMeasures_withBeams.mei
are not valid MEI files (as double check, MEI companion raise a validation error when importing them) because they don't specify a namespace on the root MEI tag. As a result, this files are failing the test_load_score() test. This failing is hidden at the moment due to another unrelated problem in the load_kern function.
Where are these files from and why are they useful? I can see 2 solutions:
- modify the MEI parser to accept these kind of files: if they are useful and from a good source (so we could expect more like that in the future)
- delete the files: if they are not useful
- modify the files: if they are useful but not from a good source
I can take care of that.
