dotnet-retest 0.7.1

Runs dotnet test with retries for failed tests automatically, and pretty-prints aggregated test results, integrating also with GitHub PR comments just like dotnet-trx.

When running locally, it provides live progress on each run:

and timing and outcome for each attempt:

Typical usage: dotnet retest [OPTIONS] [-- [dotnet test options]] (with optional --attempts which defaults to 3):

    - name: 🧪 test
      run: |
        dotnet tool update -g dotnet-retest
        dotnet retest -- --no-build [other test options and args]

PR comment integration:

NOTE: this behavior is triggered by the presence of the GITHUB_REF_NAME and CI environment variables.

        --gh-summary    True       Report as GitHub step summary                

NOTE: rendering the passed tests requires verbose verbosity, since typically you'll just want to see the failed tests in the report, especially in projects with large number of tests.
