This might prove helpful when the package managers either doesn't
have Catch at all, or provides it in obsolete version (Ubuntu 16.04,
I am looking at you).
Closes#1383
The "percentage" suggests that the expected epsilon can be in
[0, 100], but the expected values are in [0, 1]. The new wording
uses "coefficient", to make it clearer that we are talking about
values in [0, 1].
Closes#1388
The StringMaker is off by default and can be enabled by a new macro `CATCH_CONFIG_ENABLE_VARIANT_STRINGMAKER`, to avoid increasing the footprint of stringification machinery by default.
Android apparently does not support `std::to_string`, so we add a
small polyfill over it. Right now only the ULP matcher uses it,
but we have had plans to use it in `StringMaker<int>` and friends,
as it performs a lot better than `std::stringstream` based
stringification on MSVC.

Unlike the relatively non-invasive old way of capturing stdout/stderr,
this new way is also able to capture output from C's stdlib functions
such as `printf`. This is done by redirecting stdout and stderr file
descriptors to a file, and then reading this file back.
This approach has two sizeable drawbacks:
1) Performance, obviously. Previously an installed capture made the
program run faster (as long as it was then discarded), because a call
to `std::cout` did not result in text output to the console. This new
capture method in fact forces disk IO. While it is likely that any
modern OS will keep this file in memory-cache and might never actually
issue the IO to the backing storage, it is still a possibility and
calls to the file system are not free.
2) Nonportability. While POSIX is usually assumed portable, and this
implementation relies only on a very common parts of it, it is no
longer standard C++ (or just plain C) and thus might not be available
on some obscure platforms. Different C libs might also implement the
relevant functions in a less-than-useful ways (e.g. MS's `tmpfile`
generates a temp file inside system folder, so it will not work
without elevated privileges and thus is useless).
These two drawbacks mean that, at least for now, the new capture is
opt-in. To opt-in, `CATCH_CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL_REDIRECT` needs to be
defined in the implementation file.
