Provide Link To Bats-Core

Hey @stefanlasiewski . This is a super useful tool and I'm glad to see that it's being actively developed at https://github.com/bats-core/bats-core. After encountering some problems running tests on first using bats it took me a little while to discover that I should be using bats-core instead. Would it be helpful to maybe provide a link at the top of the README? And/or archive this repo to make this explicit?

Yes, both of those things would definitely be helpful. I think most of us found sstephenson/bats first, ran into problems, and then discovered bats-core/bats-core.

I think the following PR covers it: #269. Also, see tickets which reference #150.

The Maintainer isn't responding to requests in this repo, but I think we all should be compassionate about that, especially now in 2020. Life happens.

It would indeed be helpful to archive this project and link to the new one, as this currently blocks updating Bats in some distributions, e.g: Homebrew/homebrew-core#27796

Luckily, it appears that Homebrew provides bats-core at https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/bats-core , even though the old bats is still present in Homebrew as well.
