Add a C-callable "gestalt" function for querying some basic info.#1596
Conversation
This PR adds an exported C function that lets callers query some info that may be necessary to gather before those callers can reliably invoke the testing library's ABI-stable entry point function. This function is _not_ meant to be a general-purpose querying function, nor is it intended for use by tools authors. Rather, it is useful if you're writing code that works with the JSON event stream and needs to know how to communicate with the testing library. In particular, a caller would need to know the range of supported JSON schema versions.
