Verify a file without using a unit test

Use the functionality of VerifyTests outside of a unit test.

public async Task VerifyExternalFile()
{
    using var verifier = new InnerVerifier(targetDirectory, name: "sample");
    await verifier.VerifyFile(filePath);
}

^{snippet source | anchor}

Result:

{targetDirectory}/sample.verified.txt
