Update main

You won’t notice any changes unless you use CppUTest.
CppUTest uses the main() to execute its tests. So update the file with main() (CppUTestHasItsSmoke.cpp):

#include <CppUTest/CommandLineTestRunner.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
	return CommandLineTestRunner::RunAllTests(argc, argv);
}

OK (0 tests, 0 ran, 0 checks, 0 ignored, 0 filtered out, 0 ms)

If you’d like to see a list of tests and the time each takes to run, you can either:

#include <CppUTest/CommandLineTestRunner.h>

int main() {
	const char* args[] = { "", "-v" };
	return CommandLineTestRunner::RunAllTests(2, args);
}
