this._worldObj undefined in before/after hook

[reece-white]

The world obj is undefined in the before/after hooks so it is unable to attach a screenshot.

Example fix: https://github.com/timjroberts/cucumber-js-tsflow/pull/112

The world object is not exposed intentionally. It might be available during a step function, but it is not guaranteed (it probably won't be exposed for long).

The World object has four uses:

• Receiving the value from the world-parameters cucumber option
• Attaching logs to a specific step in cucumber
• Attaching files to a specific step in cucumber
• Sharing data between steps

Sharing data is supported with context injection. If you want your data to be shared between all your steps you can use the same context type for all your bindings: https://github.com/timjroberts/cucumber-js-tsflow/blob/818aa9edcac244e058d1a12c0a918c4039a9f2e8/cucumber-tsflow-specs/features/custom-context-objects.feature#L18-L53

The three other functionalities of the World object are exposed through the three provided context types.

To attach a screenshot you can use the CucumberAttachments like shown here: https://github.com/timjroberts/cucumber-js-tsflow/blob/818aa9edcac244e058d1a12c0a918c4039a9f2e8/cucumber-tsflow-specs/features/provided-context-objects.feature#L46-L61

To be sure, and to prevent future regressions, I just added an extra scenario testing attachments on both before and after hooks here: https://github.com/timjroberts/cucumber-js-tsflow/commit/979a0c8600ff4bfb5a37a3e3e109c4f01769fd70
