Per #2142 -- add support for global and group slots.
This should address a class of problems around things like port number allocations. For example, if you want to reserve blocks of 5 ports for tests, you could pick an arbitrary starting port in the ephemeral port range (e.g. 46210) and then do
starting_port + 5 * NEXTEST_TEST_GROUP_SLOT
.These slots are numbers increasing from 0, are unique for the lifetime of the test within the nextest run (or within the group), and are compact (numbers are freed as tests finish, and the smallest possible number is always assigned to new tests).
