custom settings

Extensions like rspec-rails can add their own configuration settings.

Scenarios
  1. Simple setting (with defaults)
  2. Default to `true`
  3. Overridden in a subsequent `RSpec.configure` block
Simple setting (with defaults)
Given
a file named "additional_setting_spec.rb" with: 
RSpec.configure do |c|
  c.add_setting :custom_setting
end

RSpec.describe "custom setting" do
  it "is nil by default" do
    expect(RSpec.configuration.custom_setting).to be_nil
  end

  it "is exposed as a predicate" do
    expect(RSpec.configuration.custom_setting?).to be(false)
  end

  it "can be overridden" do
    RSpec.configuration.custom_setting = true
    expect(RSpec.configuration.custom_setting).to be(true)
    expect(RSpec.configuration.custom_setting?).to be(true)
  end
end
When
I run rspec ./additional_setting_spec.rb
Then
the examples should all pass
