As part of the rewrite of the coordinator and building subrepos (#8646 and #9506), we also want the coordinator to use N VMs to do an all.{bash,bat,rc} instead of 1, and then shard test execution over a bunch of VMs, to speed things up.

First step is to rewrite the bottom half of all.bash into Go and ditch the three variants (bash, bat, rc).

This will enable test sharding over multiple VMs, to speed trybot answers.

Make all-compiler a trybot-only builder. This will be used for
temporary sharded ARM trybots.

This is a quick & hacky version of our eventual sharding plan.  Later
we want to run make.bash once, snapshot it, and then intelligently
schedule all the tests out over N machines (starting with the built
snapshot), giving each the next test to run as they become idle.
And then we want to stitch together all of their output.

But this CL just makes 6 ARM builders, each of which runs make.bash (4
minutes) and then each which runs a statically-configured subset of
the tests. Based on measurements, each should run between 8.2 and 10.6
minutes. We can break up some of the larger test cases later into more
shardable pieces (in particular: "test").

…fter test

Otherwise subsequent tests won't see any modified GOROOT.

With this CL I can move my GOROOT, set GOROOT to the new location, and
the runtime tests pass. Previously the crash_tests would instead look
for the GOROOT baked into the binary, instead of the env var:

--- FAIL: TestGcSys (0.01s)
        crash_test.go:92: building source: exit status 2
                go: cannot find GOROOT directory: /home/bradfitz/go

Also modifies 'dist test' to use that sharding, and removes some old
temporary stuff from dist test which are no longer required.

'dist test' now also supports running a list of tests given in
arguments, mutually exclusive with the existing -run=REGEXP flag. The
hacky fast paths for avoiding the 1 second "go list" latency are now
removed and only apply to the case where partial tests are run via
args, instead of regex.  The build coordinator will use both styles
for awhile. (the statically-sharded ARM builders on scaleway will
continue to use regexps, but the dynamically-shared builders on GCE
will use the list of tests)
