Benchmark model tests: fix gradients checks

* Fix gradient checks. Previously, failing test would not have been reported (see #2511).
  Quite some tests are now skipped, but better to test some than none... To be re-enabled later.
* Sort test cases to avoid issues with pytest-xdist.
* Refactor

Requires ICB-DCM/fiddy#37
