The existing code relied on the Go build cache to avoid
needless work when obtaining the tailscale binaries.
For non-obvious reasons, the binaries were getting re-linked
every time, which added 600ms or so on my machine to every test.
Instead, build the binaries exactly once, on demand.
This reduces the time to run 'go test -count=5' from 34s to 10s
on my machine.

The tests build fine on other Unix's, they just can't run there.
But there is already a t.Skip by default, so `go test` ends up
working fine elsewhere and checks the code compiles.

Fix a few test printing issues when tests fail.
Qemu console output is super useful when something is wrong in the
harness and we cannot even bring up the tests.
Also useful for figuring out where all the time goes in tests.
A little noisy, but not too noisy as long as you're only running one VM
as part of the tests, which is my plan.

This moves the distribution definitions into a maintainable hujson file
instead of just existing as constants in `distros.go`. Comments are
maintained from the inline definitions.
This uses jennifer[1] for hygenic source tree creation. This allows us
to generate a unique top-level test for each VM run. This should
hopefully help make the output of `go test` easier to read.
This also separates each test out into its own top-level test so that we
can better track the time that each distro takes. I really wish there
was a way to have the `test_codegen.go` file _always_ run as a part of
the compile process instead of having to rely on people remembering to
run `go generate`, but I am limited by my tools.
This will let us remove the `-distro-regex` flag and use `go test -run`
to pick which distros are run.

My spatial memory functions poorly with large files and the vms_test.go
file recently surpassed the point where it functions adequately. This
patch splits up vms_test.go into more files to make my spatial memory
function like I need it to.
