Allow defining test collection for parallelism in xUnit

[godrose]

In my current project I use xUnit v2 as the test provider. I would like to run the generated tests in parallel. However there are several test collections which include tests/scenarios that could not be run in parallel within the same collection. Is there any way to define an attribute that will generate Collection[] attribute at the class/feature level?

@godrose I don't believe that this is currently supported, but I'm sure something along these lines could be added, either to the default XUnit2 test generator or via a plugin. I recently implemented something similar to be able use NCrunch specific attributes in the generated tests, and maybe that can provide some inspiration.

@SabotageAndi I was thinking about jumping into this one and taking a look as I'm running up against an issue that xUnit might solve. However I have noticed that alot has changed in the code base. Mainly the absence of 'specflow.exe' in the tools. Is there an easy way to fire off something like 'GenerateAll' without too much effort?

@Blackbaud-ChrisKessel The best way to generate code- behind files with SpecFlow 3 is to use the MSBuild task.

PR #1380 for this
xunit.collection is a class level attribute only.
Only allows one 'xunit.collection' attribute per class.
Uses feature level tag: '@xunit:collection(<COLLECTION_NAME>)'
COLLECTION_NAME allows alpha, numeric, '-', and '_'
COLLECTION_NAME does not allow white space (just like any other tag)

resolved with #1380

@SabotageAndi Is this included into 161?

[SabotageAndi]

@godrose No, but it will be in 3.0.169 which is uploaded now to NuGet.org.
