Never retry tearDownAll - #2815
Merged

Conversation
A retried `tearDownAll` didn't run any of its callbacks again. `Invoker.runTearDowns` removes each callback from the declarer's list before running it, so by the time a retry started the list was empty. The retry always passed, which hid the original failure. Give the synthetic `(tearDownAll)` test `retry: 0` so a failure fails the run, whatever `retry` the group, suite, or tags configure. Platform-specific metadata, such as `on_platform` in `dart_test.yaml`, is merged into the test's metadata later by `forPlatform`, so clear the retry in those entries too. `setUpAll` still retries. We chose not to make `tearDownAll` retries work. Re-running cleanup correctly means tracking which callbacks failed, including ones that time out or fail asynchronously, and the complexity cost is higher than the utility. Teardown callbacks are often not safe to run twice anyway. A `tearDownAll` callback that can fail on flaky cleanup should handle that failure itself, for example by retrying within the callback. This only surfaces failures that a retry was already hiding. Fixes #2800
