Description
### Description of the bug:
I've been trying to use the dynamic strategy to run tests but have run into some odd behavior. `--spawn_strategy=dynamic` works and makes the tests run concurrently locally and remotely via `bazel test`, but `--strategy_regexp=.*=dynamic` does not.
Obviously I'm trying with a more specific regexp than `.*`, but the point stands: the regexp matching does not seem to apply to the test actions.
Note that `bazel test --strategy_regexp=.*=dynamic` *does work* for the build actions: I can see the build making progress using the dynamic scheduler as expected. It's only the test execution that is problematic.
### What's the simplest, easiest way to reproduce this bug? Please provide a minimal example if possible.
1. Write a trivial test, maybe that prints the hostname it's running on and introduces a delay depending on whether it's local or remote.
2. Run the test with `bazel test --spawn_strategy=dynamic` and see it run locally and remotely.
3. Run the test with `bazel test --strategy_regexp=.*=dynamic` and see it run remotely only (or using whichever is the default strategy).
