Make test-worker process independent

[unional]

ava@0.23

I am trying to work on a vscode extension to support debugging with AVA+TypeScript.

I looked at profile.js and IMO it hacks around to fool test-worker that it is working on a child process.

Would you take a PR to make test-worker communicates using events and the current consuming code have an adapter between the event emitter and the process?

I don't think we're ready to settle on any kind of stable interface to the workers, or indeed making these low-level parts extensible, sorry. The best bet at this stage is to use the CLI. The profile.js stuff is quite the hack in itself and not fully baked IMHO.

(Closing now to keep the issue count down, but please feel free to continue the discussion.)

@unional Would #1332 help you? If so, that one is "PR welcome". If not, can you elaborate on what you need instead of how? Maybe we can figure out a better way to achieve it together :)

[unional]

I think it might. My idea is to make the test-worker independent from the context thou. i.e. it should contain logic to run test, without knowing it is running in process or vm.
Then, you can consume it in process or vm by just using an adapter to hook up the events from an event emitter to the process or vm

@unional Agreed. That's how it should work. Feel free to explore this.
