Better toString with automatic support for Show for classes

[sksamuel]

Possibly something along the lines of this:
https://github.com/npryce/hamkrest/blob/master/docs/describe.md
http://joel-costigliola.github.io/assertj/assertj-core-features-highlight.html#custom-representation

We could use Show from Arrow.
https://arrow-kt.io/docs/apidocs/arrow-typeclasses/arrow.typeclasses/-show/index.html

I've done this already. Need to add docs for it @Kerooker

@sksamuel Is it possible to create a custom Show implementation and have Kotest use it?

[sksamuel]

@xerus2000 at the moment they are hard coded because I am not sure of a way to have discovery that works on MPP.

[xeruf]

well, how about registering it in a ProjectConfig or ProjectListener#beforeProject?

[sksamuel]

Can't use those as they are framework specific and assertions works outside of kotest too. But the general idea is a good one - we can allow registration on some kind of Shows object.
