Implement --agent flag for bun test

This adds a new --agent flag to bun test that changes the reporter behavior:
- Only prints error messages and final summary
- Suppresses pass/skip/todo individual test output
- Disables ANSI colors
- Exits with code 1 when no tests are run
- Immediately prints failures instead of buffering them

The flag is designed for CI/CD environments and automated tools that need
clean, minimal output focused on failures.
