v6 seems to drop the externally importable test suites?

Feature Description

I've been using go-git, and thus go-billy, via the https://github.com/jfontan/go-billy-desfacer library successfully, but it looks like as of v6 billy has stopped using GoCheck and switched to testify.

Unfortunately this makes patching that library difficult because there's no way to just import the billy test suites when implementing a billy-type filesystem anymore, compared to v5 which made this very accessible and very useful.

@wrouesnel thanks for creating this issue. Unfortunately, GoCheck is no longer maintained which puts us in a bit of a pickle.
To assure the future of the project, it is important that we rely on dependencies that are actively maintained.

Potentially one alternative here would be to expose the testify version of the Suite.

Do you mind expanding on your use case? Your key need is being able to use a different FS and be able to test that it will work correctly with go-git?

That's exactly it: when building an adapter (or in this updating the afero - go-billy adapter) I'd like to just import all the billy tests, since if those pass then the behavior is correct.
