This change introduces `tools/build_test_fast.py`, a developer-focused
wrapper script that automatically infers and builds the *minimal* required
GN targets needed to run a specific test, avoiding the expensive overhead
of building the full SDK (e.g. `create_sdk`) during local iteration.
Features:
- Infers the correct `test.py` compiler (`-c`) from the provided test
paths (e.g., `tests/web/wasm` -> `dart2wasm`).
- Infers the correct minimal GN targets for the selected compiler.
For example, DDC tests now only build `ddc_stable_test_local` and
`create_common_sdk`, taking ~4 seconds instead of 5 minutes.
- Automatically defaults web compilers (`dart2js`, `dart2wasm`, `ddc`)
to use the `d8` runtime to prevent noisy browser popups during testing,
unless explicitly overridden.
- Synchronizes the default `mode` between `build.py` (debug) and
`test.py` (release) to prevent silent snapshot resolution failures.
- Prints clear, copy-pasteable execution commands for both the build
and test phases.
- Displays a prominent warning if a test fails, reminding the developer
to verify the minimal target mapping against `tools/bots/test_matrix.json`.
- Adds documentation for the script to `docs/Testing.md`.
