Provide a way to disable the "Consider using a tolerance" warning when matching exact doubles

See original GitHub issue

Whenever you compare two values like this: d shouldBe 0.0 you get this warning:

[WARN] When comparing doubles consider using tolerance, eg: a shouldBe b plusOrMinus c

I have a project with a lot of testcases that do indeed need exact double matches with no tolerance, and this output spamming the console for every double comparison is kind of annoying. I would appreciate if there was a way to disable that output - a possible way that goes in line with the testing syntax might be to use a syntax like this: d shouldBe exactly(0.0)

I’d vote against exactly since it is generally not useful and perhaps misleading. And there is ==. Maybe we can have something like ScalaTest has. Or maybe between?

I’ve pushed this out as version 1.3.2

a shouldBe exactly(b)
