im just trying it out in a gradle project.
in intellij everything is fine, but when running gradle test it does not work.
eg this test passes in gradle but fails in IJ

class AnotherTest() : FunSpec(), Logging {
override val log: Logger by lazyLogger()

init {
    test("fails") {
        log.debug("log sth")
        false shouldBe true
    }
}

override fun afterAll() {
    super.afterAll()
}
}

test result output is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<testsuite name="AnotherTest" tests="0" skipped="0" failures="0" errors="0" timestamp="1970-01-01T00:00:00" hostname="ytu06" time="0.0">
<properties/>
<system-out><![CDATA[17:09:47.987 [Test worker] DEBUG kotlin.AnotherTest - log sth
]]></system-out>
<system-err><![CDATA[]]></system-err>
</testsuite>

The current string shrink algorithm generates candidates by dropping single characters from the end of the input. This doesn't produce the smallest case, since it doesn't drop characters from the start of the string. It is also linear on the size of the input, so it requires a potentially large number of tries to reach the result it does produce.

This PR changes to algorithm to bisect the input string from both directions, producing a minimal output in log n tries.

As an example of the current behavior, the test:

`forAll { it: String -> !it.contains("#") }`

produces output like this:

```

Shrink #21: aDPn CPQ7hBAY&LP;7MxPtN^Oy\$Fz;M pass
Shrink result => DPn CPQ7hBAY&LP;7MxPtN^Oy\$Fz;M#
```

This is 21 attempts to produce a string 32x longer than optimal.

The new algorithm produces output like this:

```
Attempting to shrink failed arg t ^j>t\o,x3?eb9#F'>g>vGQ-N}nkx
Shrink #1: <empty string> pass
Shrink #2: t ^j>t\o,x3?eb9 pass
Shrink #3: #F'>g>vGQ-N}nkx fail
Shrink #4: #F'>g>vG fail
Shrink #5: #F'> fail
Shrink #6: #F fail
Shrink #7: # fail
Shrink result => #
```

This is only 7 tries, and produces the correct output of `"#"`
