Store received requests

Currently, as far as I can see, all verification is done implicitly by matchers.

However, when testing against mock APIs I tend to prefer setting up very simple mock server matcher logic with manually verifying the received requests afterwards.

This approach can be nicer in some cases as:

It avoids the mock-server 404ing a subtly different request.
It makes fine grained verification of request fields much easier.
It makes test failure messages much more accurate when the request verification fails, rather than some 500 caused by a wayward 404 from the mock server.

Proposal

I'd like to add some sort of API to retrieve received requests from a mock server.

Then scenarios could go something like:

Mock::given(method("GET"))
  .and(path("/foo"))
  .respond_with(ResponseTemplate::new(200).set_body_json(...))
  // ...

run_scenario();

let received_requests = // get the received requests to the mock server `GET /foo` somehow
verify_scenario_requests(received_requests);

Other wiremock-ish libs have this sort of thing, e.g. c# one has .FindLogEntries(matcher). We could make all mock-server automatically record requests, or perhaps make it opt in only.
