delayed console logging for mocha

If you're unit testing code that also prints some debug info or warnings with console.log, console.warn or uses some other console output in node, then just add require('@hn3000/mocha-delayed-logging') and only see console output for failed tests.

Example output

Run npm test or yarn test in this project to see this example. (Sorry, couldn't automate the check for debug output in a failing test.)

$ npm test
