cmd/dist, test: convert test/run.go runner to a cmd/go test
As motivated on the issue, we want to move the functionality of the run.go program to happen via a normal go test. Each .go test case in the GOROOT/test directory gets a subtest, and cmd/go's support for parallel test execution replaces run.go's own implementation thereof. The goal of this change is to have fairly minimal and readable diff while making an atomic changeover. The working directory is modified during the test execution to be GOROOT/test as it was with run.go, and most of the test struct and its run method are kept unchanged. The next CL in the stack applies further simplifications and cleanups that become viable. There's no noticeable difference in test execution time: it takes around 60-80 seconds both before and after on my machine. Test caching, which the previous runner lacked, can shorten the time significantly. For #37486. Fixes #56844.
