libtest: use binary search for --exact test filtering

When `--exact` is passed in, use binary search for O(f log n) lookups instead of an O(n) linear scan, under the assumption that f << n (which is true for the most relevant cases).

This is important for Miri, where the interpreted execution makes the linear scan very expensive.

I measured this against a repo with 1000 empty tests, running `cargo +stage1 miri nextest run test_00` (100 tests) under hyperfine:

* Before (linear scan): 49.7s ± 0.6s
* After (binary search): 41.9s ± 0.2s  (-15.7%)

I also tried a few other variations (particularly swapping matching tests to the front of the list + truncating the list), but the index + swap_remove approach proved to be the fastest.

Questions:

- [ ] To be conservative, I've assumed that test_main can potentially receive an unsorted list of tests. Is this assumption correct?

This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.

Why Rust?

  • Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrated with other languages.

  • Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.

  • Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
