## Summary
This PR adds a CI job that causes GitHub to add annotations to a PR diff
when mdtest assertions fail. For example:
<details>
<summary>Screenshot</summary>
</details>
## Motivation
Debugging mdtest failures locally is currently a really nice experience:
- Errors are displayed with pretty colours, which makes them much more
readable
- If you run the test from inside an IDE, you can CTRL-click on a path
and jump directly to the line that had the failing assertion
- If you use
[`mdtest.py`](https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/blob/main/crates/red_knot_python_semantic/mdtest.py),
you don't even need to recompile anything after changing an assertion in
an mdtest, amd the test results instantly live-update with each change
to the MarkDown file
Debugging mdtest failures in CI is much more unpleasant, however.
Sometimes an error message is just
> [static-assert-error] Argument evaluates to `False`
...which doesn't tell you very much unless you navigate to the line in
question that has the failing mdtest assertion. The line in question
might not even be touched by the PR, and even if it is, it can be hard
to find the line if the PR touches many files. Unlike locally, you can't
click on the error and jump straight to the line that contains the
failing assertion. You also don't get colourised output in CI
(https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/issues/13939).
GitHub PR annotations should make it really easy to debug why mdtests
are failing on PRs, making PR review much easier.
## Test Plan
I opened a PR to my fork
[here](https://github.com/AlexWaygood/ruff/pull/11/files) with some
bogus changes to an mdtest to show what it looks like when there are
failures in CI and this job has been added. Scroll down to
`crates/red_knot_python_semantic/resources/mdtest/type_properties/is_equivalent_to.md`
on the "files changed" tab for that PR to see the annotations.
This ties together everything from the previous commits.
Some interesting bits here are how the snapshot is generated
(where we include relevant info to make it easier to review
the snapshots) and also a tweak to how inline assertions are
processed.
This commit also includes some example snapshots just to get
a sense of what they look like. Follow-up work should add
more of these I think.
This makes it possible for callers to set where snapshots
should be stored. In general, I think we expect this to
always be set, since otherwise snapshots will end up in
`red_knot_test`, which is where the tests are actually run.
But that's overall counter-intuitive. This permits us to
store snapshots from mdtests alongside the mdtests themselves.
This adds documentation for the new test framework.
I also added documentation for the planned design of features we haven't
built yet (clearly marked as such), so that this doc can become the sole
source of truth for the test framework design (we don't need to refer
back to the original internal design document.)
Also fixes a few issues in the test framework implementation that were
discovered in writing up the docs.

## Summary
Adds a markdown-based test framework for writing tests of type inference
and type checking. Fixes#11664.
Implements the basic required features. A markdown test file is a suite
of tests, each test can contain one or more Python files, with
optionally specified path/name. The test writes all files to an
in-memory file system, runs red-knot, and matches the resulting
diagnostics against `Type: ` and `Error: ` assertions embedded in the
Python source as comments.
We will want to add features like incremental tests, setting custom
configuration for tests, writing non-Python files, testing syntax
errors, capturing full diagnostic output, etc. There's also plenty of
room for improved UX (colored output?).
## Test Plan
Lots of tests!
Sample of the current output when a test fails:
```
