gh-109566, regrtest: Add --fast-ci and --slow-ci options

* Add --fast-ci and --slow-ci options to libregrtest:

  * --fast-ci uses a default timeout of 10 minutes and "-u all,-cpu"
    (skip slowest tests).
  * --slow-ci uses a default timeout of 20 minues and "-u all" (run
    all tests).

* regrtest header now lists test resources.
* Makefile changes:

  * "make test" now uses --fast-ci option and TESTTIMEOUT variable.
  * "make hostrunnertest" now uses --fast-ci option and TESTTIMEOUT
    variable.
  * "make buildbottest" now uses "--slow-ci". Remove options which
    became redundant with "--slow-ci".
  * "make coverage-report" now uses --fast-ci option and TESTTIMEOUT
    variable.
  * "make testall" and "make testuniversal" now use --slow-ci option
    and TESTTIMEOUT variable.
  * "make testall" now uses "find -exec rm ..." instead of
    "find ... -print|xargs rm ...", same as "make clean".

* GitHub Actions workflow now uses "make test". Remove options which
  became redundant with "--fast-ci". Just use -j0: detect the number
  of CPUs.
* Set TESTTIMEOUT default to an empty string, since --slow-ci and
  --fast-ci use different default timeout. It's now accepted to pass
  "--timeout=" to regrtest: treated as not timeout.
