release-23.1: roachtest: allow tests to specify a cockroach binary to use #114654

Backport 3/3 commits from #113301.

/cc @cockroachdb/release


Currently, roachtests must manually upload their own cockroach binary if needed through the Put API.
However, almost all roachtests upload the standard t.Cockroach() binary to ./cockroach on all nodes,
resulting in the same Put code being duplicated at the start of most tests. Additionally, to collect artifacts
we still need a cockroach binary at a discoverable path, leading to the same binary being copied twice in many
cases, see: #97814

This change adds a TestSpec option which lets tests specify a cockroach binary to use. If one is not specified,
we now upload the t.Cockroach() binary to ./cockroach. This lets us remove cockroach-default logic for artifacts,
and removes the need to manually upload binaries at the start of each test.

Release note: None
Fixes: #104729

Thanks for opening a backport.

Please check the backport criteria before merging:

  • Backports should only be created for serious
    issues
    or test-only changes.
  • Backports should not break backwards-compatibility.
  • Backports should change as little code as possible.
  • Backports should not change on-disk formats or node communication protocols.
  • Backports should not add new functionality (except as defined
    here).
  • Backports must not add, edit, or otherwise modify cluster versions; or add version gates.
  • All backports must be reviewed by the owning areas TL and one additional
    TL. For more information as to how that review should be conducted, please consult the backport
    policy
    .
If your backport adds new functionality, please ensure that the following additional criteria are satisfied:
  • There is a high priority need for the functionality that cannot wait until the next release and is difficult to address in another way.
  • The new functionality is additive-only and only runs for clusters which have specifically “opted in” to it (e.g. by a cluster setting).
  • New code is protected by a conditional check that is trivial to verify and ensures that it only runs for opt-in clusters. State changes must be further protected such that nodes running old binaries will not be negatively impacted by the new state (with a mixed version test added).
  • The PM and TL on the team that owns the changed code have signed off that the change obeys the above rules.
  • Your backport must be accompanied by a post to the appropriate Slack
    channel (#db-backports-point-releases or #db-backports-XX-X-release) for awareness and discussion.

Also, please add a brief release justification to the body of your PR to justify this
backport.

Fixes: cockroachdb#104729
This change prints the cockroach random seed used by metamorphic
builds to test.log for ease of debugging. Before this seed was found
only in cockroach.log.
Before if a test uploaded a non t.Cockroach() binary github posting
would have no knowledge of that and naively use t.Cockroach() to
determine metamorphism or not. This fixes that.
