Add a Testable instance for Either #92

Description

@Rembane

Result is not a very composable data type, which makes it clunky to work with. If we add a Testable instance for Either String Unit we can use the whole machinery around the Either type and make testing a much more pleasant experience.

Contrived example of pleasant experience:

p :: Array String -> Either String Unit
p  a = do
  i <- note "Couldn't find hello." (elemIndex "hello" a)
  if mod i 2 > 0 
    then Left "hello isn't on an index divisible by two."
    else Right unit

In my opinion this experience becomes pleasant because I can use do-notation, note and a load of other niceties.

If you think this is a good idea I can implement the instance(s) needed and make a PR.
