Add Qualflare TestNG to Testing > Miscellaneous

[ibrahimsn98]

Adds Qualflare TestNG under Testing → Miscellaneous in README_SOURCE.md. None of the focused subsections fit a result reporter — it is not a framework, matcher, mock or fixture — so Miscellaneous per the guidelines.

Why it is noteworthy (fills a useful niche): TestNG hands a retried failure to onTestSkipped with wasRetried() set. The consequence is that Surefire's JUnit XML records a test which failed twice and passed on the third retryAnalyzer attempt as two <skipped/> entries and one pass — with no <failure> element and no stack trace. Every tool that reads that file is working from a record the failures were already removed from. This listener reads TestNG's callbacks instead, so all three attempts are preserved with their errors, and it separates timeouts (onTestFailedWithTimeout) and configuration failures (onConfigurationFailure) from assertion failures — distinctions the JUnit schema cannot express.

Distinct from similar entries: junit-dataprovider is a JUnit runner, not reporting. ReportNG and ExtentReports render HTML from results after the fact; this runs inside the run and captures what the result files drop. It is a listener only — no runner, no assertions, no HTML.

Java-first and developer-friendly:

• Apache-2.0, on Maven Central as com.qualflare:qualflare-testng, signed releases.
• Requires TestNG 7.4.0+ (wasRetried() must exist) and Java 11+. CI covers Java 11/17/21 and TestNG 7.4.0 and 7.12.0.
• Zero runtime dependencies, and registers itself through TestNG's ServiceLoader support — adding the test dependency is the entire setup.
• English docs in the README; no account needed to use the library, which writes a local report directory and makes no network calls. Uploading to the hosted Qualflare service is optional and has a free tier.

Disclosure: I'm the author. I've followed the one-line format in README_SOURCE.md and left README.md untouched since it is generated; happy to reword or move it.

Summary by cubic

Adds Qualflare TestNG to the Testing > Miscellaneous section of README_SOURCE.md. The tool is a TestNG listener that preserves every retry attempt and reports timeouts and configuration failures as distinct statuses, avoiding Surefire's JUnit XML behavior of recording retried failures as skipped and losing stack traces.

^{Written for commit 377f11a. Summary will update on new commits.}
