Use the doctest package to test all the Forge packages, in addition to Testify's own __test_pkgs__.

Added in https://github.com/apjanke/octave-testify/commit/2ed763f77a6f13ba95995103469e311558e6087d.

It's not working for a bunch of packages. Lots of them are erroring in the tests with testify.ForgePkgTester: Error while testing package geometry: 'is_octave' undefined near line 19 column 5. is_octave is a private function in the doctest package. Not sure what's going on there.
