reorg: move js runtime tests to cli/js/tests/ (#4250)
All Deno runtime test files were moved to cli/js/tests/ directory.

It makes a clear distinction that cli/js/tests/ contains code
that is run under Deno runtime as opposed to code in cli/js/ which
is used to create bundle and snapshot with "deno_typescript".

# Deno runtime tests
Files in this directory are unit tests for Deno runtime.
They are run under compiled Deno binary as opposed to files in `cli/js/` which
are bundled and snapshotted using `deno_typescript` crate.
Testing Deno runtime code requires checking API under different runtime
permissions (ie. running with different `--allow-*` flags). To accomplish this
all tests exercised are created using `unitTest()` function.
```
import { unitTest } from "./test_util.ts";
unitTest(function simpleTestFn(): void {
// test code here
});
unitTest({
skip: Deno.build.os === "win",
perms: { read: true, write: true },
},
function complexTestFn(): void {
// test code here
}
);
```
`unitTest` is is a wrapper function that enhances `Deno.test()` API in several
ways:
- ability to conditionally skip tests using `UnitTestOptions.skip`
- ability to register required set of permissions for given test case using
`UnitTestOptions.perms`
- sanitization of resources - ensuring that tests close all opened resources
preventing interference between tests
- sanitization of async ops - ensuring that tests don't leak async ops by
ensuring that all started async ops are done before test finishes
`unit_test_runner.ts` is main script used to run unit tests.
Runner discoveres required permissions combinations by loading
`cli/js/tests/unit_tests.ts` and going through all registered instances of
`unitTest`. For each discovered permission combination a new Deno process is
created with respective `--allow-*` flags which loads
`cli/js/tests/unit_tests.ts` and executes all `unitTest` that match runtime
permissions.
