Support the Test activity bar view #193
Description
From Don Jayamanne (@DonJayamanne) on October 2, 2017 21:40
Make use of the explorer view in VS Code to display the unit tests
- This is a poor mock up
- Plan is to display the unit test names along with the results (just as we do today using the icons)
- You'll have the ability to run tests individually form within this explorer view.
(FYI - I've justed edited the image from an older issue - https://github.com/DonJayamanne/pythonVSCode/issues/236#issuecomment-237812891)

microsoft/vscode#9505 suggests that VS Code is looking into providing a generic test explorer that we would plug into. Until that issue is resolved we would rather hold off on implementing our own solution.

Given microsoft/vscode#9505 (comment), it looks like there will not be a generic VS Code test explorer any time soon :-(, so perhaps this issue should be reopened.

Not sure we should do that.
I for one wouldn't want to see this big ui component just to confirm that all my tests pass, the status bar is better suited for a very quick summary view.

On the other hand the status bar is pretty crowded for projects using more than one language. I'd like to see an option to only see the test output in the test viewlet (hoping that errors would be displayed using a badge similar to the one used by the SCM icon).
