Description
For testing https://github.com/JuliaDiff/ChainRules.jl/pull/644, it would be useful if we could have a variant of TestConfig() which only works in forward mode, and one which only works in reverse mode. This would ensure that tests of one possibility don't get upgraded to test the other.

Research direction
Start by reading the existing TestConfig implementation and the testing needs described for ChainRules.jl PR 644. Determine how to provide separate configurations that permit only forward-mode or only reverse-mode testing, then verify that tests using one mode cannot be upgraded to exercise the other.
