Move meta testing utilities into a new MetaTesting.jl package

[oxinabox]

A follow-up to #60
we could make a new package in JuliaTesting called MetaTesting.jl to hold things like the function that captures all failures.

I recently needed these meta testers for another package, so I'd like to take the initiative to put this package together and register it.

Package created here: https://github.com/sethaxen/MetaTesting.jl. Will hold off on registering for a few days in case there are requested changes.

oh cool, I also recently wanted this! I used it for https://github.com/JuliaTesting/ReTestItems.jl/blob/main/test/_integration_test_tools.jl
think i might have needed to make some tweaks, but yeah if this was its own package that sounds good to me

Nice! Seems you replaced errors (checks that the tester errors) with errors (returns the number of errors thrown during testing), which makes sense. I proposed in JuliaTesting/MetaTesting.jl#1 that errors and fails are not very good names, and it might be better to add macros @test_fails expr and @test_errors expr to make it clearer and also simplify the syntax. Your functions also seem useful to add.

yeah, sounds good -- thanks for making the package! -- i'll go open some feature requests there 😁

@sethaxen will you open the PR here to switch us over to using the MetaTesting.jl package?
