 - changed **godog.Suite** from interface to struct. Context registration should be updated accordingly. The reason
 for change: since it exports the same methods and there is no need to mock a function in tests, there is no
 obvious reason to keep an interface.
+- in order to support running suite concurrently, needed to refactor an entry point of application. The **Run** method
+now is a func of godog package which initializes and run the suite (or more suites). Method **New** is removed. This
+change made godog a little cleaner.
