    This PR implements the functionality described above and hides it behind
    the `--experimental-faster-testing` flag of `flutter test`.
    
    ### The following are some performance measurements from test runs
    conducted on GitHub Actions

    **length of `flutter test --reporter=expanded test/animation
    test/foundation` step**
    
    run 1: 54s
    run 2: 52s
    run 3: 56s

    from a clean build (right after deleting the build folder):
    
    run 1: 215s
    run 2: 227s
    run 3: 245s
    
    average: 229s (~17.72% shorter than 278.33s)
    
    Note that in reality, `test/material` was not passed to `flutter test`
    in the trials below. All of the test files under `test/material` except
    for `test/material/icons_test.dart` were listed out individually
    
    **length of `flutter test --reporter=expanded test/material` step**
    
    run 1: 408s
    run 2: 421s
    run 3: 451s
    
    average: 426.67s
    
    **length of `flutter test --experimental-faster-testing
    --reporter=expanded test/material` step**
    
    run 1: 382s
    run 2: 373s
    run 3: 400s
    
    average: 385s (~9.77% shorter than 426.67s)
