Add common ReporterBase as parent of the helper bases

This is useful as a centralized place for handling common reporter
problems like handling output streams, and soon also colour impl
handling.

 You can also write your own custom reporter and tell Catch2 to use it.
 When writing your reporter, you have two options:
