Clarify intention behind failing tests #48

Description

@danielsoutar

If a developer were to run the tests for ReTest.jl, they would observe a number of tests failing, such as those found in Main.FailingLoops. While there is a good reason for having failing tests in ReTest.jl, namely checking the library behaves as expected when the tests fail, it is confusing/misleading for the developer, especially newcomers.

It would be good to indicate which tests are expected to fail. This would be most easily achieved by moving the failing tests into a dedicated file and includeing it into the main runtests.jl file. Alternatively, we could potentially mark these with test_broken, although the Julia docs state that this macro is for indicating "a test that should pass".
