Option to bypass installation

[aminya]

In a parallel situation that multiple child processes run the tests (or using the shell parallelization), atom-jasmine3-test-runner goes through installing the deps every time. Maybe in version 5.0.0 it does not install them every time, but in the terminal, it is still reported.

I was wondering if we can add a function that we can use to install the deps only once before running the parallel tests and bypass the installation checks for the subsequent runs.

The spec helpers would need to run in each process. It doesn't really install them in v5+ so I guess we could suppress the log output but that wouldn't speed it up at all.

I'm going to close this as I don't think there is anything we can do about installing deps once in parallel processes. If there is something you would like to discuss further feel free to reopen this issue.

I see there is a "headless" option. How can I enable it?

[UziTech]

Running atom --test spec in a terminal will set headless to true.

Oh, I thought it skips printing messages if it is headless.

Check this. The repeated printing generates a huge log, which is hard to read. Having an option for skipping installation scripts is necessary, I think.

I would be fine with a quiet option that will suppress the install log. Would you mind creating a PR for that?
