TestCafe Reporter Slack

This package is a small modification of the original slack reporter.

We don't think there's much value on sending the error message to slack, as it polutes the channel and we won't be debugging the code there.

We also changed the emojis - from :heavy_check_mark: and :heavy_multiplication_x: to :white_check_mark: and :red_circle:. Reason being that it's imediately noticable which tests failed and which tests passed.

More variables: we show which environment the tests are running against, and we also show a link to the gitlab pipeline that trigger the tests to run.

Finally - if the any of the tests failed, then a small GoT shame gif is displayed at the end of the message.
