Accelerate approval with an auto-approve option

[maxbechtold]

Right now, the user has to manually overwrite the current master files in order to approve a new set of master files (or execute the created approval script)

It would be better to have this closer to the test execution, i.e. perform the approval as part of a test execution.

Also, the user is forced to run the tests twice in order to 1) create and 2) approve the master files approved. Could this be done in a single step?

This is followed up in #6.

It can also be useful to test if different ways of running a program result in the same outcome. Support for this is developed in the branch https://github.com/maxbechtold/golden-master/tree/approval-id. (merged into master.)

I'm not seeing a way to achieve this without any user action. However, a system property like -Dmaxbe.golden-master.approve=true when running the Golden Master tests could be used to auto-approve the output even without them matching the master files. In order to avoid accidental overwriting of the master files, the tests should probably not "succeed" (but instead abort.)
