test_runner: support test plans

It is now possible to count the number of assertions and subtests that are expected to run within a test. If the number of assertions and subtests that run does not match the expected count, the test will fail.

test('top level test', (t) => {
  t.plan(2);
  t.assert.ok('some relevant assertion here');
  t.subtest('subtest', () => {});
});

inspector: introduce the --inspect-wait flag

This release introduces the --inspect-wait flag, which allows debugger to wait for attachement. This flag is useful when you want to debug the code from the beginning. Unlike --inspect-brk, which breaks on the first line, this flag waits for debugger to be connected and then runs the code as soon as a session is established.
