Add tests for the event bus factory

Added a basic spec for the event bus factory

+**Event hub factory**
+
+To make it easier for you to migrate existing event hubs to the new recommended approach, or simply
+to create new ones, we have created a factory that you can use to instantiate a new mitt-based
+event hub.
+
+```javascript
+import createEventHub from '~/helpers/event_hub_factory';
+
+export default createEventHub();
+```
+
+Event hubs created with the factory expose the same methods as Vue 2 event hubs (`$on`, `$off` and
+`$emit`), making them backward compatible with our previous approach.
