AVA hangs when test is used incorrectly

[novemberborn]

Did some preliminary testing and would seem that code like this causes AVA to hang:

import test from 'ava'

test()

Incorrect invocations like these should have better user feedback too.

I'd like to work on this—would this just require a check on test()'s arguments and an appropriate error message?

@sotojuan Seems like, try and see :)

@sotojuan yes that'd be great!

Yea I think so. It's pretty weird right now, using the mini reporter it just hung, and using --verbose it got stuck in a loop complaining about the test() call causing an error to be thrown. Besides adding some assertions around required usage and communicating that back to the user I'm rather curious why it got stuck.

All right, I'll take a look at it later today or Monday. I have an algorithms exam to study for!

@sotojuan good luck with your exam!

Also note that #565 is already adding some of these messages.
