zig test: when -ofmt=c, default to `zig run` as test exec

Previously when running `zig test` with the C backend, it would return `error.InvalidExe` because it would try to run the C code source file as a binary. Now, by default, it will try to run it with `zig run -lc foo.c` and this can be overridden with the standard `--test-cmd` flags.
