Description

This tiny PR tries to allow XML reporter to add the actual TestType as an arg. to TestCase if it's a TEMPLATE_TEST_CASE.
Proof of concept atm; if the idea attracts enough interest; I'll add it to other reports too as well as maybe generalizing this to arbitrary number of case properties.

Current behavior: Catch reports append the TestType to the case name; separated by a dash.
Reason for this improvement: Want to see the actual failing TestType (if some fail and some pass) in my editor. But parsing the name is error prone (as I usually have dashes in case names, and there is no way to distinguish if it's a template test case - unless parsing the expression for TestType - which can be just mentioned there as a string value or variable ... you can see how this can get confusing quickly).
Solution: As TestType is a property of the test case; adding it as a parameter to the corresponding TestCase tag avoids all confusion; No effect should be observed in regular test cases.

This quick test:

TEST_CASE( "Regular - test case") {
    REQUIRE( true );
}

template<class T>
bool isTrue() {
    return true;
}

template<>
bool isTrue<double>() {
    return false;
}

TEMPLATE_TEST_CASE( "Template - test case", "", double, int) {
    REQUIRE( isTrue<TestType>() );
}

results in this XML report (notice the testType="..." when it's a TEMPLATE_TEST_CASE)
