cmd/go/internal/test: add 'tests' vet check to 'go test' suite
The tests analyser reports structural problems in test
declarations. Presumably most of these would be caught by
go test itself, which compiles and runs (some subset of) the
tests, but Benchmark and Fuzz functions are executed less
frequently and may benefit more from static checks.
Also, reflect the change in go test help message.
+ release note
Fixes golang/go#44251
