We separate the checks into three different stages:

1. phpunit
2. behat
3. everything else

when all we need is phpunit or behat we don't need to install moodle in cli. Currenlty it only takes extra time: install moodle, install moodle again for phpunit, run phpunit.

phpdoc also needs a cli installation of Moodle.

But if you are in a hurry and can live without phpunit - behat - grunt - phpdoc, one can already have results in less than a minute (40 secs is my fastest run now, based on this workflow script)

There is some analogy with #36. I suggest to make cli moodle installation triggered from the test step itself, i.e.

• Each test command class has a flag indicating that full moodle installation is required
• When we reach the first test with this flag, we check if moodle has been installed, if not - installation will be performed prior to test itself.
• moodle-plugin-ci install will do everything it does now apart of cli moodle installation. We can add an moodle-plugin-ci install command param to force moodle install (e.g. --install-moodle) at this stage just for the case if someone runs something custom in following steps, if all test steps are using moodle-plugin-ci ... this param should not be used.
