Restore `fail` with a message about forge-std HOT 2 OPEN

I believe fail() was removed as part of the move to native cheatcode assertions from the solidity assertions. You should also be able to fail a test with revert("Reason to fail") which should be similarly convenient. cc @klkvr for more info

There also is vm.skip(bool) to conditionally skip tests if that helps

I believe that you're referring to this change: 1432518#diff-d79529fa796b868bdba7d0be181244b6d3ee5d3ff0aecb1b5db2d47b78dfb05dL15-L17 and specifically this part of StdAssertion.sol:

-    function fail(string memory err) internal virtual {
-        emit log_named_string("Error", err);
-        fail();
-    }
+     function fail() internal virtual {
+        vm.store(address(vm), bytes32("failed"), bytes32(uint256(1)));
+        _failed = true;
+    }

fail() wasn't removed, it was moved from DSTest to StdAssertion and switched to the native cheatcodes. In the process the fail(err) variant was lost and IMO it could be restored to keep this useful tool around and improve backward compatibility. Previously it was logging err and calling DSTest's fail(), now it could log err and call StdAssertion's fail().
