VisualState.xml should be saved *before* running tests

Bug Description

VisualState.xml should be saved right before executing tests, because now if NUnit.exe dies during test execution, the last settings (categories/checkboxes) are lost.

I debug my NUnit project from Visual Studio by using NUnit.exe as the "start external program" - which is very convenient, because I just hit F5 to launch NUnit UI with my tests loaded automatically. However, when I stop debugging (Shift-F5), Visual Studio kills NUnit.exe, and the settings are frequently lost. This has been a pain-point.

Please fix this.

Interesting point. I'll investigate whether we can catch the shift-F5 shutdown and save first. If not, your idea seems reasonable.

Thanks, Charlie, for looking into it.

BTW, I forgot to thank you for the awesome tool+framework NUnit is!
