Output test duration

Actually this is now available as an option with #80 / v.0.1.8

Hi @chapati23.

Would you like the reporter to include the regular mocha test duration output? One issue with this is that the gas reporter makes many additional RPC calls and might not accurately reflect where the bottle-necks are.

A work-around I've seen is to have the gas-reporter attached conditionally in truffle.js. AragonOS has an example here which allows them to toggle between reporters using an environment variable.

$ truffle test # Regular mocha reports with time
$ GAS_REPORTER=true truffle test # Gas analysis

thanks @cgewecke — we opted for a similar path now https://github.com/brickblock-io/smart-contracts/blob/master/truffle.js#L50-L63

wasn't aware of the extent of distortion of test duration through the gas reporter. would have been nice to get both in one go (gas costs + accurate test duration) but it's a tradeoff i can live with :)
