[Christopher] FIX: If background fails, rerun just runs the first scenario and skips other scenarios

[christopher-rex]

On a feature execution, if the background fails, the rerun.txt file records the feature along with the line number of first scenario. Consequently during rerun only this scenario runs and all other scenarios in the feature file are ignored.

The fix is to capture just the feature file name WITHOUT any line numbers in rerun.txt if background fails. This results in rerunning the entire feature file with all scenarios.

Thanks for taking a look at this @christopher-rex.

It's probably safest to fix this in the v1.3.x-bugfix branch right now - especially if you want it to be released soon. The master branch is targeting cucumber 2.0 and is not likely to be released soon.

If you could write a spec or scenario that demonstrates this behaviour that would also be really useful, to ensure we don't get a regression in future versions.

@christopher-rex would an acceptable solution be to record all of the scenarios in the feature in the rerun formatter output? That approach seems much more compatible with Cucumber 2.0's design.
