catch3/tools/Repository.cpp, branch fix/child-environment Progmasoft Catch3: an independently maintained C++17 test framework with a parallel runner, property checks, snapshots and structured results.

The scripts in use become programs run with `bazelisk run //tools:<tool>`,
and arguments follow `--`:

  amalgamate     the single-file distribution; --check only compares it
  check          licenses, convenience headers, header guards, file names,
                 versions and whether the distribution is up to date
  third-party    compares third_party/ with its archives, or writes it
  version        prints the version, or moves every place that states it
  release-notes  prints a section of the release notes
  repo-info      reports the checkout and the tools on PATH; --json writes
                 it through yyjson, with the fields of Tala's repo-info

amalgamate writes what the Python script wrote, byte for byte, except for
the time of generation. That line is gone so that the output is
deterministic and --check can compare it.
