Description

Hi.

I'd to add support in surefire for custom name suffix for tests in surefire-reports.

Motivation 1):
I have more modules, some modules are sharing tests from another using org.codehaus.mojo:build-helper-maven-plugin.
I'd like to have txt and xml files with some differentiator to determine in which module tests were executed.

Motivation 2):
I have defined several executions where I use different parameters and execute the same tests in each execution.
Again, I'd like to have txt and xml files with some differentiator.

Solution:
Introduce new configuration property reportNameSuffix.
Patch for this improvement is included.

Tested:
Yes, <reportNameSuffix>customText</reportNameSuffix> added into surefire plugin configuration and received these files:
org.xyz.test.componentA.ComponentAUnitTest-customText-output.txt
org.xyz.test.componentA.ComponentAUnitTest-customText.txt
org.xyz.test.componentB.ComponentBUnitTest-customText-output.txt
org.xyz.test.componentB.ComponentBUnitTest-customText.txt
TEST-org.xyz.test.componentA.ComponentAUnitTest-customText.xml
TEST-org.xyz.test.componentB.ComponentBUnitTest-customText.xml

Tested without <reportNameSuffix> defined too, original file names and content generated.
