IERS TestIERS_A class is not automatically run #9232
Description
The astropy.utils.tests.test_iers.TestIERS_A is run only if the directory holds an finals2000A.all file, which will never be the case in a CI run. The tests there should be merged with an IERS_Auto tests in which the file is actually downloaded.
EDIT: there are also a few tests in time/tests/test_ut1.py that do the same check.

Does it need a specific finals2000A.all file or will any old one do? If the latter just using download_file(IERS_A_URL, cache=True) as the filename will have the desired effect (download just once in the first test that needs it). (Leaving aside the tests that wipe the download cache.)

Any one will do, really, so I think you're right that one might as well use the downloaded version (it gets downloaded in other tests anyway).
p.s. And, yes, we definitely need to think more about the cache!

All tests are run these days, so closing.
