What does this PR do?

Route gotestsum through Bazel wherever it was invoked via go install, $GOBIN, or $GOPATH, and drop it from install-tools' TOOL_LIST.

Replace every direct gotestsum invocation with bazel run @tools_gotest_gotestsum//:gotestsum whenever possible.

Otherwise install it by leveraging:

  1. platform_transition_filegroup to cross-compile it without incurring the overhead of a full platform transition (for which some Bazel rules are not suited1),
  2. pkg_install for copying it out of the sandbox.

Together, both of the above provide a flawless2 alternative in runtime environments where Bazel is not (yet) available.

Motivation

gotestsum's version and toolchain provenance were at best tracked by a runtime version check, and go install left it exposed to the "gotestsum not found" and wrong-arch incident class documented in prior art, leading us to land urgent PRs after incidents surfaced:

=> Bazel's hermetic build and efficient caching remove the failure mode at the source instead of patching around it again.

Describe how you validated your changes

dda inv test ran end to end through the new bazel run path: 18 tests passed with correct output and exit code.

kmt.py and system_probe.py's install paths were exercised directly, producing correct-arch binaries, verified via file(1), for host, arm64, and x86_64 targets, including the KMT cross-compile case.

Existing unit test suites, bazel_tests.py, e2e_testing_tests.py, setup_env_tests.py, and go_tests.py, pass unchanged.

Additional Notes

Footnotes

  1. a bare --platforms= flag on the whole bazel run invocation doesn't just cost more, it breaks pkg_install's own launcher outright (hit this directly: a garbled venv/Python launcher, Syntax error: ')' unexpected, zero output).

  2. a naive bazel build followed by a copy of the resulting binary by gardening into Bazel's output is flawed: not only is the operation not atomic, but output paths collide across --platforms invocations. Also, build artifacts would get thrashed over --platforms switches.

Explanation

Confidence level: 90.00%
Effect size tolerance: |Δ mean %| ≥ 5.00%

Performance changes are noted in the perf column of each table:

  • ✅ = significantly better comparison variant performance
  • ❌ = significantly worse comparison variant performance
  • ➖ = no significant change in performance

A regression test is an A/B test of target performance in a repeatable rig, where "performance" is measured as "comparison variant minus baseline variant" for an optimization goal (e.g., ingress throughput). Due to intrinsic variability in measuring that goal, we can only estimate its mean value for each experiment; we report uncertainty in that value as a 90.00% confidence interval denoted "Δ mean % CI".

For each experiment, we decide whether a change in performance is a "regression" -- a change worth investigating further -- if all of the following criteria are true:

  1. Its estimated |Δ mean %| ≥ 5.00%, indicating the change is big enough to merit a closer look.

  2. Its 90.00% confidence interval "Δ mean % CI" does not contain zero, indicating that if our statistical model is accurate, there is at least a 90.00% chance there is a difference in performance between baseline and comparison variants.

  3. Its configuration does not mark it "erratic".

Replicate Execution Details

We run multiple replicates for each experiment/variant. However, we allow replicates to be automatically retried if there are any failures, up to 8 times, at which point the replicate is marked dead and we are unable to run analysis for the entire experiment. We call each of these attempts at running replicates a replicate execution. This section lists all replicate executions that failed due to the target crashing or being oom killed.

Note: In the below tables we bucket failures by experiment, variant, and failure type. For each of these buckets we list out the replicate indexes that failed with an annotation signifying how many times said replicate failed with the given failure mode. In the below example the baseline variant of the experiment named experiment_with_failures had two replicates that failed by oom kills. Replicate 0, which failed 8 executions, and replicate 1 which failed 6 executions, all with the same failure mode.

### What does this PR do?
Route `gotestsum` through Bazel wherever it was invoked via
`go install`, `$GOBIN`, or `$GOPATH`, and drop it from `install-tools`'
`TOOL_LIST`.

Replace every direct `gotestsum` invocation with
`bazel run @tools_gotest_gotestsum//:gotestsum` whenever possible.

Otherwise install it by leveraging:
1. `platform_transition_filegroup` to cross-compile it without incurring
   the overhead of a full platform transition, for which Python-baked
   rules would need to be fixed[^1],
2. `pkg_install` for copying it out of the sandbox.

Together, both of the above provide a flawless[^2] alternative in
runtime environments where Bazel is not (yet) available.

### Motivation
`gotestsum`'s version and toolchain provenance were at best tracked by a
runtime version check, and `go install` left it exposed to the
"gotestsum not found" and wrong-arch incident class documented in prior
art, leading us to land urgent PRs after incidents surfaced:
- #incident-56214,
- #incident-56215,
- #incident-56553,
- etc.

=> Bazel's hermetic build and efficient 2-layer caching remove the
failure mode at the source instead of patching around it again.

### Describe how you validated your changes
`dda inv test` ran end to end through the new `bazel run` path: 18 tests
passed with correct output and exit code.

`kmt.py` and `system_probe.py`'s install paths were exercised directly,
producing correct-arch binaries, verified via `file(1)`, for host,
`arm64`, and `x86_64` targets, including the KMT cross-compile case.

Existing unit test suites, `bazel_tests.py`, `e2e_testing_tests.py`,
`setup_env_tests.py`, and `go_tests.py`, pass unchanged.

### Additional Notes
[^1]: a bare `--platforms=` flag on the whole `bazel run` invocation
doesn't just cost more, it breaks `pkg_install`'s own launcher outright
(hit this directly: a garbled venv/Python launcher, `Syntax error: ')'

not atomic, but output paths collide across `--platforms` invocations.
Also, build artifacts would get thrashed over `--platforms` switches.
