Pkg test with arguments for testing packages

[v-i-s-h]

Pkg REPL in Julia-0.7.0 allows only to pass the Package name as argument. But there is no way to give an argument (or a list of arguments) to the test script from Pkg REPL.

From bash, we can do (from the corresponding package directory)

$ julia ./test/runtests.jl <args>

Even though it is possible to give it through julia REPL, like this

ARGS = [ <args> ]; include( joinpath(Pkg.dir(<PackageName>),"test","runtests.jl") )

but produces the following warning:

 Warning: Pkg.dir is only kept for legacy CI script reasons
└ @ Pkg.API /buildworker/worker/package_linux64/build/usr/share/julia/stdlib/v0.7/Pkg/src/API.jl:433
