"""
Tests the path tracking on a small random system.
Two random trinomials are generated and random constants
are added to ensure there are no singular solutions
so we can use this generated system as a start system.
The target system has the same monomial structure as
the start system, but with random real coefficients.
Because all coefficients are random, the number of
paths tracked equals the mixed volume of the system.
