Interactive watch mode filters

@mmulet did fantastic work to spearhead interactive watch mode filters. You can now filter test files by glob patterns, and tests by matching their titles. It's just like you already could from the CLI itself, but now without exiting AVA 🚀 #3372

As part of this work we've removed the "sticky" .only() behavior #3381

Examples

We've been remiss in merging #3335 which updates the examples to use AVA 6. It's done now, examples are up to date and it's all due to @tommy-mitchell 👏

Full Changelog: v6.1.0...v6.1.1

v6.1.0

What's Changed

• Implement registerCompletionHandler() by @novemberborn in #3283

  AVA 6 expects test code to clean up gracefully when the tests are complete, allowing the test environment (worker thread or child process) to exit. If this does not happen, AVA will report a timeout. You can use registerCompletionHandler() to perform any other clean up (or indeed exit the process) after AVA has completed the test execution. See the description here.

• Fix potential bug with watch mode when no failed test files are written by @novemberborn in #3287

• Fix ava/internal ESM type module by @codetheweb in #3292
