Testing

The program used for testing can be viewed at tests/test.nim. The program will automatically execute each test case, invoking the lox program with a specific test file located at tests/<testname>/<testname>.lox. The expected output is in the same folder, at tests/<testname>/<testname>.out. The test program captures the output of the process and asserts that it is equal to the expected output for the test.
