This seems to give about 15% speedup when compiling tests using GCC.
The tradeoff is that under certain circumstances, there is a chance for
false negative result, when the expression under test throws exception
and the test code catches it before it gets to the test runner.
Example:
``` cpp
TEST_CASE("False negative") {
try {
REQUIRE(throws() == "");
} catch (...) {}
}
```
This test case will succeed, reporting no assertions checked, instead of
failing as it would with `CATCH_CONFIG_FAST_COMPILE` disabled. However,
just removing the try-catch block inside client's code will fix this, so
it is worthwhile.
This change does not apply to CHECK* macros, because these are currently
specified as continuing on exception and thus need the local try-catch
to work as intended.
