Implement a "grep" option in runner.

This aims to resolve issue #476. --grep can be passed to
ava which means to skip every test that doesn't match the
supplied pattern search for the test title. The pattern
can contain regexp strings and the skipped flag will be
set based on the output of "test" (so anywhere in the
title of the test will work).
