Dispose Context after each Scenario if Context implements IDisposable

See original GitHub issue

Description

As far as I can tell and see in debugging, context objects are never disposed.

I believe it is possible to manually do this in xUnit2 by not using the automatic .WithContext<T>() method, but providing an instance and later disposing of it, but that isn’t as nice and leaves room for errors.

My scenarios use a local server for testing API round trips. The server is started and destroyed on each call to clean the slate as it were.

Progress

Implement scenario context disposing,
Implement step context disposing,
Implement context disposal exception propagation,
Ensured backward-compatibility,
Ensured good debugging experience
