exit status

In order to fail the build when it should, the spec CLI exits with an
appropriate exit status

Scenarios
  1. exit with 0 when all examples pass
  2. exit with 1 when one example fails
  3. exit with 1 when a nested examples fails
  4. exit with 0 when no examples are run
exit with 0 when all examples pass
Given
a file named "ok_spec.rb" with: 
describe "ok" do
  it "passes" do
  end
end
When
I run rspec ok_spec.rb
Then
the exit status should be 0
And
the examples should all pass
exit with 1 when one example fails
Given
a file named "ko_spec.rb" with: 
describe "KO" do
  it "fails" do
    raise "KO"
  end
end
When
I run rspec ko_spec.rb
Then
the exit status should be 1
And
the output should contain "1 example, 1 failure"
exit with 1 when a nested examples fails
Given
a file named "nested_ko_spec.rb" with: 
describe "KO" do
  describe "nested" do
    it "fails" do
      raise "KO"
    end
  end
end
When
I run rspec nested_ko_spec.rb
Then
the exit status should be 1
And
the output should contain "1 example, 1 failure"
exit with 0 when no examples are run
Given
a file named "a_no_examples_spec.rb" with:
When
I run rspec a_no_examples_spec.rb
Then
the exit status should be 0
And
the output should contain "0 examples"
