Nest test dirs under a root

[rotu]

Test fixture directories are named tap-testdir-something but snapshots are under a tap-snapshots/path/to/test. It may make more sense to move the test fixtures to some tap-testdir/ root and maybe to allow it to be outside the repository root.

This would allow easier manual cleanup (especially after running with --save-fixture) and make it easier to configure tools that have file system watchers.

Hm, that's a pretty good idea.

Snapshots were always kept in a single root location, because the expectation is that they'll stick around and get checked into git. Fixture dirs are usually transient, so it doesn't usually much matter where they are, but putting them outside the test root (like in /tmp or something) often fails in CI environments that don't have write access to any other paths.

In any event, it's just a change to the #getTestdir method here: https://github.com/tapjs/tapjs/blob/main/src/fixture/src/index.ts#L130-L155 and you would still be able to override it with a config option if you wanted.
