Test Harness Refactor

Pull Request 514

Overview

This pull request adds a configuration file for the test harness package Mocha. Furthermore, it addresses some silent errors in how the assertion library chai requires the should function. Additionally, this project has added a dev dependency of this project, C8. All files containing the unit test have been appended with the spec.js extension. This change allows Mocha to avoid scanning unnecessary files. Finally, this Pull Request reduces the dependency on the cross-env package by changing the scripts section of the package.json file.
