Clear and concise description of the problem

Depending on the kind of tests we run, it can be interesting to have a fail-fast feature and exit as soon as a test is failing.

I'm not the only one needing such feature apparently: #964

Jest has bail for this purpose.

Suggested solution

As Vitest tries to smooth the transition from Jest, I think the bail option is a sensible name.

But Jest implementation is incomplete/weird, it's only skipping the next test suites (describe blocks), but it continues to run the other tests within the same test suite.

I think the default should be to bail by test case and not by test suite.

# Skip all the subsequent tests after n test failures (default 1)
--bail <n>

I'm not sure what could be the API if we want to deal with both test cases and test suites, maybe adding a --bail-scope <test|suite> (default test)? 🤔
