Feature: Early termination on test failure

[erikh]

For long running e2e or functional tests, it would be nice if we could terminate the entire test suite at the point of first failure. I haven't found a way to resolve this yet if there is a way to already, but a flag/parameter to control this behavior internally would make this a lot easier and clearer to implement from an end-user perspective.

My earlier attempts were around trying to use the C.Failed() method to determine whether or not I could panic, but c.Failed doesn't report appropriately inside fixture hooks. Seems kinda like a hack anyway. :)

If you're willing to accept the idea, I can take a stab at a patch.

This would probably be a good idea to set up at the suite level. This would just make it possible for the suite to bail when a test has failed without any extra code in the test itself.

c.Assert does exactly this.
