Need Junit 5 Support

[akhilasankar]

I was trying to use spark-testing-base with Junit 5 but even after extending SharedJavaSparkContext I was getting jsc() as null. On a quick look I found that SharedJavaSparkContext is expecting junit 4(org.junit.Test).So in my method with junit5 @test(org.junit.jupiter.api.Test) jsc() was coming as null. If I move to junit4 everything works fine.As we are moving to junit5 I believe this is a must have change in the lib.

Thanks for your work!
Best,

There's a pretty straight forward solution to this, when adding 3 classes as specified here https://medium.com/javarevisited/junit-5-spark-testing-bc8eb29b2238. I think this shall get merged to spark-testing-base. This is a very simple PR (I'm ready to do this if maintainers will show interest). @holdenk

It would be great to get it merged - I dont have Membership for medium to look at above link - would be helpful for all if it merges.
