Feature request: pass test additional arguments to beforeEach function

[pwalczyszyn]

Would be cool if we had access in beforeEach hook to additional arguments that can be passed to each test. Kinda like it's demonstrated in macros docs. This would allow beforeEach hook parametrisation. Like in the example below:

test.beforeEach(async (t, args) => {
  if (args.initDb) {
    // initialise db
  }
});

test('my test with args', async t => {

}, {
  initDb: true
});

And I guess we should make that test arg available to all hooks? I already have it working with beforeEach hooks, need to wright tests.

My approach in #2435 is to enable the construction of custom test() functions, which would include their own hooks and context construction. So you'd have a testWithDb() function. I think that's better than the solution advocated for here, so I'm closing this issue.
