Description

I find this flag in mocha to be incredibly useful:

```bash
npm test -- -g "some test description"
```

What do you think about having something similar in uvu?

Research direction

The issue names uvu's command-line invocation and Mocha's `-g` example, but no files or tests. Start by locating uvu's CLI argument handling and test-selection flow, then compare the expected matching behavior with Mocha. Done means a documented grep-style flag filters tests by description and is covered by tests.
