cmd/dist: introduce "go test" abstraction
This introduces an abstraction for constructing and running "go test"
commands. Currently, dist test is basically a shell script written in
Go syntax: it mostly just invokes lots of subprocesses, almost all of
which are "go test" invocations, and it constructs those command lines
directly from strings all over the place.
This CL raises the level of abstraction of invoking go test. The
current level of abstraction is not serving us very well: it's
conveniently terse, but the actual logic for constructing a command
line is typically so spread out that it's difficult to predict what
command will actually run. For example, the `gotest` function
constructs the basic command, but many tests want to override at least
some of these flags, so flattenCmdLine has logic specific to `go test`
for eliminating duplicate flags that `go test` itself would reject. At
the same time, the logic for constructing many common flags is
conditional, leading to a bevy of helpers for constructing flags like
`-short` and `-timeout` and `-run` that are scattered throughout
test.go and very easy to forget to call.
This CL centralizes and flattens all of this knowledge into a new
`goTest` type. This type gives dist a single, unified point where we
can change anything about how it invokes "go test".
There's currently some "unnecessary" abstraction in the implementation
of the goTest type to separate "build" and "run" flags. This will
become important later when we convert host tests and to do separate
build and run steps.
The following CLs will convert dist test to use this type rather than
directly constructing "go test" command lines. Finally, we'll strip
out the scattered helper logic for building command lines.
For #37486.
