    Make asynchronous test configuration explicit · 23d56620
    Mike Pennisi authored
    For asynchronous tests, the contract between test file and test runner
    is implicit: runners are expected to inspect the source code for
    references to a global `$DONE` identifier.
    
    Promote a more explicit contract between test file and test runner by
    introducing a new frontmatter "tag", `async`. This brings asynchronous
    test configuration in-line with other configuration mechanisms and also
    provides a more natural means of test filtering.
    
    The modifications to test files was made programatically using the
    `grep` and `sed` utilities:
    
        $ grep "\$DONE" test/ -r --files-with-match --null | \
            xargs -0 sed -i 's/^\(flags:\s*\)\[/\1[async, /g'
        $ grep "\$DONE" test/ -rl --null | \
            xargs -0 grep -E '^flags:' --files-without-match --null | \
            xargs -0 sed -i 's/^---\*\//flags: [async]\n---*\//'
