Description
### Brief Issue Summary
From a customer request
"In general, I think it is a good idea to bake in support for ctest directly into the official cmake extension.
-ctest allows also application level tests with “add_tests” and/or launch.json.
-ctest could provide a unified testing view across applications and potentially multiple test frameworks (gtest, catch, etc)."

Research direction
Start by reviewing the CMake Tools extension's existing test execution flow and how it relates to CTest, add_tests, and launch.json. Compare the requested unified testing view with support for application tests and frameworks such as gtest and Catch; done would require a defined scope and an agreed integration design.
