Display total number tests

Current

When running ./bashunit, at the end, we know the total of tests and assertions:

Expected

The task is to calculate these numbers (total of tests and assertions) in advance, and display them at the very beginning to have early feedback of how many of them will be there.

Observation

These numbers are currently calculated on the fly, as we go. There might be a way to search and find by pattern these numbers, let's assume the following:

• tests: are all functions starting with test in all testing scripts
• assertions: functions being called that start with assert inside each test

HINT

Something like this might help

function helpers::find_test_functions() {
    local dir=${1:-tests}
    grep -r -E '^\s*function\s+test' "$dir" --include=\*.sh 2>/dev/null \
      | wc -l \
      | xargs
}

Calculating assertions count for a test with dataprovider(s) is not possible/easy, I guess?

[Chemaclass]

@staabm, good point. I think it would be possible but not as straight forward. We could start having this logic as first PR for the tests only and we will figure out later the assertions.
