[Feature]: Surface platform options to users

[aradalvand]

Problem Statement

MTP has this notion of platform options, like the results directory (defaults to ./TestResults/); there is currently no easy way to get these values when you're using TUnit

A reasonable use case is when you want to add artifacts to tests but you want to make sure the artifacts themselves are written inside the configured results directory, alongside artifacts like reports generated by TUnit itself.

Proposed Solution

Somehow surface these options as part of the public API, and document how to retrieve them.

Do you mean you want like a getter to know their values? I'll have to check if MTP exposes this too otherwise TUnit won't be able to tell either

Yeah I guess something like that, maybe part of TestContext. I'm not familiar enough with MTP's API to know how it exposes those configuration values to testing frameworks built on top of it (like TUnit), I figured you might know

[aradalvand]

It might be worth mentioning that for the AttachArtifact use case specifically, one alternative would be to have TUnit accept relative paths in the file path, and then it assuming the base directory for such paths to be the configured TestResults directory (which it must "know" about since it writes its test reports to that directory, either directly or via some MTP call).

Let me know if you think this one would be less of a headache.
