Add REGEX masking ability #143

Description

@jackmatt2

In order to help make tests more deterministic - add REGEX masking capability

ie. to mask dates in your output, you might supply the following

expect.mask("\\d{2}-\\d{2}-\d{4}", "**-**-****").toMatchSnapshot(obj)

You can supply multiple masks

expect
  .mask("\\d{2}-\\d{2}-\d{4}", "**-**-****") // mask dates
  .mask("(?m)^$", "** empty line ***\n") // mask empty lines
  .toMatchSnapshot(obj)

Masks can be used to make invisible characters more obvious

expect
  .mask("(?m)^\t+$", "TABS_ONLY") // mask invisible character more obvious
  .toMatchSnapshot(obj)
