Add deprecations documentation

# Deprecations and incoming changes
Turn "deprecations" into "deprecations and planned changes" This captures the intent better, as some changes are indeed plain deprecations leading to removal, but other changes can be viewed as minor tune-ups instead.

This page documents current deprecations and upcoming planned changes
inside Catch2. The difference between these is that a deprecated feature
will be removed, while a planned change to a feature means that the
feature will behave differently, but will still be present. Obviously,
either of these is a breaking change, and thus will not happen until
at least the next major release.

Add deprecation warning in ParseAndCatchTests Parsing C++ with regex in CMake is error prone and regularly leads to silently dropped (not run) test cases. Going forward the function `catch_discover_tests` from `contrib/CMake.cmake` should be used. For more information see https://github.com/catchorg/Catch2/issues/2092#issuecomment-747342765

### `ParseAndAddCatchTests.cmake`
The CMake/CTest integration using `ParseAndAddCatchTests.cmake` is deprecated,
as it can be replaced by `Catch.cmake` that provides the function
`catch_discover_tests` to get tests directly from a CMake target via the
command line interface instead of parsing C++ code with regular expressions.
Fix significant bug with storing composed matchers Given that in the 2 or so years that matchers are thing nobody complained, it seems that people do not actually write this sort of code, and the possibility will be removed in v3. However, to avoid correctness bugs, we will have to support this weird code in v2.

Change Bazel XML support to depend upon BAZEL_TEST
2022-06-14 11:56:19 +02:00
### `CATCH_CONFIG_BAZEL_SUPPORT`
Catch2 supports writing the Bazel JUnit XML output file when it is aware
that is within a bazel testing environment. Originally there was no way
to accurately probe the environment for this information so the flag
`CATCH_CONFIG_BAZEL_SUPPORT` was added. This now deprecated. Bazel has now had a change
where it will export `BAZEL_TEST=1` for purposes like the above. Catch2
will now instead inspect the environment instead of relying on build configuration.
Add new SKIP macro for skipping tests at runtime (#2360) * Add new SKIP macro for skipping tests at runtime This adds a new `SKIP` macro for dynamically skipping tests at runtime. The "skipped" status of a test case is treated as a first-class citizen, like "succeeded" or "failed", and is reported with a new color on the console. * Don't show "skipped assertions" in console/compact reporters Also extend skip tests to cover a few more use cases. * Return exit code 4 if all test cases are skipped * Use LightGrey for the skip colour This isn't great, but is better than the deep blue that was borderline invisible on dark backgrounds. The fix is to redo the colouring a bit, including introducing light-blue that is actually visible. * Add support for explicit skips in all reporters * --allow-running-no-tests also allows all tests to be skipped * Add docs for SKIP macro, deprecate IEventListener::skipTest Co-authored-by: Martin Hořeňovský <martin.horenovsky@gmail.com>

### `IEventLister::skipTest( TestCaseInfo const& testInfo )`
This event (including implementations in derived classes such as `ReporterBase`)
is deprecated and will be removed in the next major release. It is currently
invoked for all test cases that are not going to be executed due to the test run
being aborted (when using `--abort` or `--abortx`). It is however
**NOT** invoked for test cases that are [explicitly skipped using the `SKIP`
