testing: add -shuffle=off|on|N to alter the execution order of tests and benchmarks
This CL adds a new flag to the testing package and the go test command
which randomizes the execution order for tests and benchmarks.
This can be useful for identifying unwanted dependencies
between test or benchmark functions.
The flag is off by default. If `-shuffle` is set to `on` then the system
clock will be used as the seed value. If `-shuffle` is set to an integer
N, then N will be used as the seed value. In both cases, the seed will
be reported for failed runs so that they can reproduced later on.
Fixes #28592
