Support Escapable Characters in Prefix With BATs Testing

[TheYorkshireDev]

Summary of changes

As outlined in this ticket (#342) forward slash is not supported for prefixes because of a conflict with sed. Forward slash in particular is common in tagging especially in a monorepo with multiple deployable entities.

I've updated the sed command to use semicolon ; as a separator to support the large majority of use cases.

In this change I have also introduced a new test framework for the project BATs to support testing this change. The penultimate commit pushed the tests that verified that the / was not supported in a prefix, and the last commit actually fixed it (making the tests pass).

To support testing these particular changes and to avoid too much setup, I've passed in the DRY_RUN flag which allows us to test the functionality we need, however in future tests (if you decide to adopt this approach) it can be omited and committed to a repo.
