Add partial implementation of CATCH_CONFIG_DISABLE

* Assertions are defined into (void)(0) no-op
* SECTIONs are defined away (leaving {} as scope)
* TEST_CASEs and TEST_CASE_METHODs are not registered.
* REGISTER_TEST_CASE is defined into (void)(0) no-op
* METHOD_AS_TEST_CASE is defined away

+## `CATCH_CONFIG_DISABLE`
+This toggle removes most of Catch from given file. This means that `TEST_CASE`s are not registered and assertions are turned into no-ops. Useful for keeping tests within implementation files (ie for functions with internal linkage), instead of in external files.

 # Windows header clutter
 
 On Windows Catch includes `windows.h`. To minimize global namespace clutter in the implementation file, it defines `NOMINMAX` and `WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN` before including it. You can control this behaviour via two macros:
