Add Pre-Built Systems and Memory Test Microcore Components

The files listed in the Design Files topic contain two pre-built systems: a pattern checker system, and a pattern generator system. These pre-built Platform Designer systems appear in the IP Catalog in the System folder. The IP Catalog also contains a list of available Memory Test Microcores. The source files of these custom IP cores are located in <project folder>/memory_tester_ip. The memory_tester_search_path.ipx file included in the project provides this path to Platform Designer.
