`--filltests` with missing (or an outdated version of) `solc` should shout an error #190

Closed meowsbits closed 2 years ago

Currently only a WARNING: Error getting solc Version is given when using the retesteth --filltests flag. Since solc is a dependency for this command, retesteth should refuse to run if an adequate solc version is not present.

Note further that I originally used snap to install solc and the version installed this was was too old, and caused issues of its own:

sudo snap install solc
solc v0.5.16 from Ethereum Build Automation (builds-c) installed

but a later version installed manually (via reference in the Dockerfile) worked OK.

./solc-static-linux --version
solc, the solidity compiler commandline interface
Version: 0.8.5+commit.a4f2e591.Linux.g+

retesteth actually have no idea what solc version is required. because it is the tests files that define it. so you can actually use the tests with solc version 0.5 and be just fine. also if you don't use any solidity at all, filling the test without solc installed is possible.
