[Feature Request] Use box.json to pick up testbox settings

[cybersonic]

At the moment we use the settings either from the user package settings of project settings file. If there already is a box.json file the settings for running testbox should already be there.

The box.json file would have

    [
        ...
        "testbox"           : {
            "runner" : [
                { "cf10"    : "http://cf10cboxdev.jfetmac/testbox/tests/runner.cfm" },
                { "cf11"    : "http://cf11cboxdev.jfetmac/testbox/tests/runner.cfm" },
                { "lucee"   : "http://luceecboxdev.jfetmac/testbox/tests/runner.cfm" }
            ]
        }
    ]

Which should be enough to at least run the tests. We could also add any more info to that file no?

This sounds interesting. How do you envision the box.json file being discovered? Searching a project's root folders? Specifying it in the project file?

I would just search the root folders

[cybersonic]

It should be in the root folder. I think that should be enough?

At most it could be in a child folder but I would just use the root. (Until someone complains) :)

This certainly seems doable. I guess if using the box.json settings, I should add reporter=JSON to the url if it isn't there?

I think this should be supported now, but please let me know if you find issues with it.
