Minimal Mocking Axios Demo

There are 3 files involved in this:

1. src/__mocks__/axios.js: This is used by jest to mock the real axios module while running tests... we aren't really using this mock as we'll override it in each test.
2. src/linkValidate.js: This is our actual code that we want to test
3. src/linkValidate.test.js: Our tests... we import axios, although this is the mocked axios thanks to Jest detecting our special __mocks__ folder... we will mock it for each of the 2 tests with a success, and later a failure. Then we'll make sure our code did what it was expected to do.
