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.
Closes#1243
ReusableStringStream holds a std::ostringstream internally, but only exposes the ostream interface.
It caches a pool of ostringstreams in a vector which is currently global, but will be made thread-local.
Altogether this should enable both runtime and compile-time benefits. although more work is needed to realise the compile time opportunities.
An empty default implementation is provided to keep backward compatibility.
Called when signal or Structured Exception is encountered.

Swept:
`-Wpadded` in some places (where it caused extra size, instead of just
saying "hey, we padded struct at the end to align, just as standard says")
`-Wweak-vtables` everywhere (Clang)
`-Wexit-time-destructors` everywhere (Clang)
`-Wmissing-noreturn` everywhere (Clang)
The last three are enabled for Clang compilation going forward.
Also enabled `-Wunreachable-code` for Clang and GCC
