It's a well-known problem that Wasmer contains many flaky tests, and it's not uncommon to need to restart a CI run 2 or 3 times before tests will pass. For example, this CI run from #4224 took 5 restarts before all the create-exe tests would pass.

This PR switches from cargo test to cargo nextest and enables automatic retries for some known flaky tests. I've deliberately not added a blanket retries = 3 because this lets us track roughly which tests are flaky. The intention is that if you are working on a PR and notice a flaky test, you'll explicitly add it to the set of overrides in .config/nextest.toml.

This won't fix issues like note: /usr/bin/ld: final link failed: No space left on device when our cache grows so big it fills up the disk, but hopefully it'll help mask the flakiness a bit better.

@syrusakbary this PR is ready to merge. We just need to remove the requirement for "Build and Test (wasmer-web)" to pass because that CI job has been removed.
