API and associated Runner logic for performing multiple repetitions of a test

[stmontgomery]

Description

This tracks making it possible to repeat a test in swift-testing multiple times. I imagine it would be best expressed as a Trait type, and would require associated logic in the Runner and Event subsystems.

We had toyed with this before we shared the repo publicly. I think we ran into trouble because it wasn't clear what the fine semantics of a .repeating(n) trait would be.

I think we've landed this as tools SPI?

I think we've landed this as tools SPI?

This issue is tracking adding that ability on a per-test or -suite level, likely via a trait

Any progress on this? A repeating/repeatable trait would be very handle. (I have a bug that is being caused by improper dictionary key iteration order and a repeating trait would help be guard against it somewhat)

We are still tracking this issue, but it hasn't moved to the top of our queue yet.
