Previously we were waiting for all parameterized test items to be emitted on the JSON event stream before starting the `vscode.TestRun`. This limitation was in place to ensure we had all the test items in test request sent to VSCode, as we couldn't add test items after a run had started. That requirement seems to have been relaxed, or we were just not refreshing the test explorer correctly after dynamically adding items, but regardless it looks like we can dynamically add items now. This means we can correctly mark a test run as "started" immediately when the user starts compiling a test like we do with XCTest, making the two testing libraries the same in this regard. It also simplifies the code, allowing us to accept and inject new parameterized test items at any time during a run.
